Greetings from Boston!
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”
This weekend we celebrate the adoption of the Declaration of Independence. Thank you to all who support and protect us.
Today seems like a fitting day to remember the women of the world who are yet to celebrate independence.
Learn about CEDAW – The Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women – an international treaty that supports fundamental human rights and equality for women around the world. CEDAW was adopted in 1979 by the United Nations General Assembly and entered into force in 1981. To date, 186 of 193 countries have ratified the treaty. The United States has not.
