CEDAW Speaker Series: Article 10 with Hilary Gbedemah

In the lead-up to the 30th anniversary of The Bahamas’ ratification of the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW), Equality Bahamas hosted the CEDAW (Convention) Speaker Series. This is the ninth session, looking at Article 10 on Education, and we were joined by Hilary Gbedemah, member of the CEDAW Committee.

The CEDAW (Convention) Speaker Series is designed to familiarize members of the public with the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW), known as the women’s bill of rights. On the third week of each month, we will be joined by an expert to look at one Article of the Convention, its interpretation, its application to the Bahamian context, and the most recent assessment of the country’s progress.

Watch the replay of the session below, which took place on January 21, 2023.
