Ratify CEDAW - End Discrimination Against Women

CEDAW - The Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women is the international treaty dedicated to gender equality. The U.S. played a major role in drafting the treaty and President Carter signed it in 1980, but we are one of only seven countries that has not ratified CEDAW. Let's make 2010 the year we ratify CEDAW. For the first time, there is a strategic, well-resourced coalition leading the effort, and we have strong support within the current administration and the US Senate. But getting 67 Senators to vote yes to ratification wont be easy and well need your help over the next 5-7 months.

Young people from Milwaukee created this video to help spread the word. Please do your part to help. Upload a video response to support CEDAW.
