In the reading of A Magna Carta for all Women, it was an introduction to the world of women’s right through one of the most important instruments women around the world have for the promotion and defense of humanity. It was split into three parts, Convention on the elimination of all forms of Discrimination against women, which was adopted in 1979. This is the first international instrument that states that all of women’s human rights and prohibits all forms of discrimination on the basis of sex or gender. CEDAW took into account what women actually need. This document created rights for women that are designed specifically for our everyday reality, where other documents didn’t. It made states responsible for women rights and women were equal.
