UK government to integrate all rights in UN CEDAW Convention into domestic law.
'ELIMINATE DISCRIMINATION AGAINST WOMEN, NOW AND FOREVER'
In 1986 the UK government ratified the UN Convention on the Elimination of all Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW). It gives rights to UK women & obligates government to advance women's lives, recognising past inequalities & remedying them. Its provisions must become part of domestic law.
