Abstract

The adoption of the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) by the UN General Assembly in 1979 can be seen as the formalisation of the recognition of the rights and roles of women, and a commitment of the global community to respect and support these. It also charted the way for the next historical milestone in realising women’s rights, the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action adopted in 1995 which charted the pathways for women’s empowerment. The importance of gender equality is also reflected in the outcome document of the Rio+20 conference ‘The future we want’, which has a section on gender equality and women’s empowerment, culminating in the formulation of the Sustainable Development Goal5 dedicated to gender equality.
