CEDAW Speaker Series: Articles 7 & 8 with Nicole Ameline

Nicole Ameline, a member of the CEDAW Committee, led a conversation on CEDAW Articles 7 and 8 which focus on political and public life and representation.

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.

Watch the replay of the session below, which took place on  November 5, 2022.
