The Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW), adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in 1979 and enforced from 1981, is regarded as the international bill of rights for women. It provides a comprehensive framework for eliminating discrimination against women in political, economic, social, cultural, civil, and family life. The Convention defines discrimination against women as any distinction, exclusion, or restriction made on the basis of sex that impairs or nullifies the recognition, enjoyment, or exercise of women's human rights and fundamental freedoms. It places an obligation on State Parties to ensure equality between men and women through legislative, administrative, judicial, and policy measures. One of the major provisions of CEDAW is the principle of equality and non-discrimination. States are required to incorporate the principle of gender equality into their constitutions and legal systems, repeal discriminatory laws, and adopt legislation that prohibits discrimination against women. Governments are expected to establish legal protection for women and ensure effective remedies when discrimination occurs. CEDAW emphasizes
