The Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) is an international bill of rights for women. It was adopted in 1979 by the UN General Assembly and, defines what constitutes discrimination against women. Additionally, it sets up an agenda for national action to end such discrimination. CEDAW was ratified by Trinidad and Tobago in 1989. In doing so, Trinidad and Tobago committed itself to undertake measures which would end discrimination against women.
