CEDAW reviewed

In two weeks--16 Jan through 3 Feb--the 34th session of the CEDAW (The Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women) committee will review six countries records of treatment of women. I will be there representin' to the fullest and will report accordingly, but you should definitely keep your eyes and ears open to the happenings.

CEDAW, otherwise known as the Women's Treaty, promotes women´s equal access, equal opportunities in political, public life, as well as in education, health and employment. And (not) surprisingly, one of the countries that won't ever be reviewed is our beloved little home, the U.S. Why? Well, dearies, our little country didn't really feel that signing the document or upholding women's equality was really that necessary. Because we're above that--we love women! Especially when they're half naked, vacuuming, getting pregnant, and shutting up! Uh-huh.
