CEDAW Speaker Series: Article 4 with Gaynell Curry

On Saturday, June 18 2022 at 10am EDT, Equality Bahamas was joined by Gaynel Curry, a Bahamian human rights expert and Independent Expert Member of the United Nations (UN) Permanent Forum of People of African Descent.

Gaynel led a conversation on CEDAW Article 4 which focuses on temporary special measures. 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.
