Calling on the Senate to ratify the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women.

Would ask the Senate to ratify the United Nations Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW). It frames ratification as a tool to close legal and economic gender gaps, noting 189 countries have ratified CEDAW and citing World Bank and U.N. estimates that about 2.7 billion women lack equal economic opportunity, nearly one in five young women marry before age 18, and women have roughly two-thirds of the legal rights men hold.
