CEDAW Speaker Series: Articles 1 & 2 with Patricia Schulz

On Saturday, April 23 2022 at 10am EDT, Equality Bahamas was joined by Patricia Schulz, a Swiss lawyer specializing in international human rights and gender equality and a former member of the United Nations CEDAW Committee.

Patricia led a conversation on CEDAW Articles 1 (Discrimination) and 2 (Policy measures). The CEDAW 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.
