CEDAW Speaker Series: Article 3 with Esther Eghobamien-Mshelia

On Saturday, May 21 2022 at 11am EDT, Equality Bahamas was joined by Esther Eghobamien-Mshelia, a Nigerian public policy analyst and a former member of the United Nations CEDAW Committee.

Esther led a conversation on CEDAW Article 3 which focuses on basic human rights, fundamental freedoms, and national gender machinery. 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.
