The Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination
Against Women is a treaty for all girls and women in this world.
After 30 years it is still valid and necessary both in developed
and in developing States. This image is clearly conveyed by the
authors of this book, who represent a wide variety of national and
cultural backgrounds, and who have put the implementation of the
provisions in the Convention to the test both in modern and in
traditional societies. In addition, some chapters pay attention to
issues that are not contained in the treaty itself but that greatly
impact the realization of women's human rights, such as gender
mainstreaming, gender-based violence, and corruption. The strengths
and weaknesses, and the future potential of the Convention as well
as the work of its monitoring body are critically analyzed and
compared to other human rights treaties and organs. It becomes
clear that, irrespective of the existing flaws, the Convention is
the best option for achieving women's equality. With contributions
