CEDAW Speaker Series: Articles 15 and 16 with Ruth Halperin-Kaddari

Ruth Halperin-Kaddari, former member of the CEDAW Committee, led a conversation on CEDAW Article 15 (Law) and Article 16 (Marriage and Family Life) on August 6, 2023.

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 August 6, 2023.
