CEDAW Rising | Cities for CEDAW

CEDAW Rising is leading the human rights movement to promote intersectional gender justice at the local level. Our mission is to foster gender justice and strengthen the rights of women and girls, in all their diversity, through local adoption and implementation of the principles of the UN Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW). We strive to ensure our movement is grassroots-driven, intersectional, multigenerational and aligned with human rights standards. We provide resources and expertise to support communities, local advocates and government officials in passing and effectuating CEDAW measures in cities and counties across the U.S. CEDAW measures offer evidence-based frameworks for advancing the rights of women and girls within local jurisdictions. They galvanize local policies and practices to dismantle systemic barriers, address intersectional inequalities and ensure equal opportunities for all.
