Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Violence against women The Declaration on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women (abbreviated as DEDAW[1]) is a human rights proclamation issued by the United Nations General Assembly, outlining that body's views on women's rights. It was adopted by the General Assembly on 7 November 1967.[2] The Declaration was an important precursor to the legally binding 1979 Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW). Its aim was to promote gender equality, specifically for protection of the rights of women. It was drafted by the Commission on the Status of Women in 1967.[3] To implement the principles of the declaration, CEDAW was formed and enforced on 3 December 1981.
