    This was an effort of the UN in 1979. It was intended to start a kind of International Bill of Rights for Women. This initiative defines and describes what is and isn't discrimination against women and sets out agendas for all national governments to follow.

    From this initiative the Treaty for the Rights of Women emerged and international movements and organizations are urging and pressuring governments around the world to ratify this and commit to ending discrimination and violence against women.
