CEDAW Speaker Series: Article 13 with Constanza Pauchulo

Constanza Pauchulo, Economics and Development Program Manager at IWRAW-AP, led a conversation on CEDAW Article 13 on Economic Life. 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.

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 July 1, 2023.
