CEDAW Speaker Series: Article 5 with Rhoda Reddock

On Saturday, August 20 at 10am EDT, Equality Bahamas was joined by Professor Rhoda Reddock, a member of the CEDAW Committee. Rhoda led a conversation on CEDAW Article 5 with a focus on its interpretation and use to address gender-based violence.

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 20, 2022.
