Month We Celebrate
* MARCH IS NATIONAL
HUMAN RIGHTS MONTH FOR WOMAN
CEDAW: The International Bill of
Rights for Women
The Convention on the Elimination
of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women defines the
right of women to be free from discrimination and sets the
core principles to protect this right. It establishes an
agenda for national action to end discrimination, and
provides the basis for achieving equality between men and
women through ensuring women's equal access to, and equal
opportunities in, political and public life as well as
education, health and employment.
CEDAW is the only human rights treaty that affirms the
reproductive rights of women.
The Convention has been ratified by
180 states, making it one of the most ratified international
treaties. State parties to the Convention must submit
periodic reports on women’s status in their respective
countries.
CEDAW’s Optional Protocol establishes procedures for
individual complaints on alleged violations of the
Convention by State parties, as well as an inquiry procedure
that allows the Committee to conduct inquiries into serious
and systematic abuses of women's human rights in countries.
So far the Protocol has been ratified by 71 States.

Theresa, it's been an issue for years and years amongst our youth & it's getting worse. I have seen it for myself.
It's everywhere & it is finally coming to light...In colleges, there r so many rapes, abuses that have taken place but go unreported ("swept under the rug") per say just to protect the College's Reputation & Name (good ole' mighty $$$$$$). And of course ppl. are "UNCOMFORTABLE" taking about this issue. They feel a certain loyalty, fear or they me have been brought up with this mindset of "Nobody needs to know what goes on behind closed doors"...BS!!!!!!!! Domestic, physical, emotional, & verbal abuse at home. All types, all races, all economic classes, all genders, all ages... even within our Military.
Elderly community, included!!!! Education on Preventing.
Violence is key, stopping the vicious cycle b/c the majority of the time it starts with their childhood & if not dealt with properly it will manifest itself into their adulthood hence allowing them to get "abused" by others.
might I also conclude that children whom are products of abuse may also become the "abusers"..c where I am going with this??? one word, "BULLIES". (ppl. need to open their minds).~ Carolina Corona
