Tell Your Senators to Ratify the Women's Rights Treaty

Honor women across the United States by calling on the Senate to finally ratify the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW), the international treaty dedicated to gender equality. Worldwide, 186 countries have ratified the treaty; the United States is one of only seven countries that have not. The U.S. signed the treaty in 1980, but it has never been ratified by the U.S. Senate. Send a Message
