The Declaration on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women is a human rights proclamation issued by the United Nations General Assembly, outlining that body's views on women's rights. It was adopted by the General Assembly on 7 November 1967.[1] The Declaration was an important precursor to the legally binding 1979 Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women. At least every four years, the States parties are expected to submit a national report, indicating the measures they have taken within the declaration. Failure to do so is being noncompliant and is a violation of the international law. The Committee members discuss these reports with the Government representatives and explore areas for further action with accommodations to to the specific country. The Committee also makes simple recommendations to the parties on matters concerning the elimination of discrimination. Other topics provided by CEDAW include sex trafficking and exploitation; political and civil rights, like the right to vote; health, employment, and marriage; and specific issues such as access to agricultural credit and loans.
