What You Can Do

Urge the Senate to support gender equality throughout the world

The United States is one of only seven countries — including Iran, Somalia, Sudan, and three Pacific island nations — that have not ratified the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW). Contact your senator to urge them to bring CEDAW to a vote today!
