This paper examines the Convention of the United Nation on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW). The paper does this in order to assess whether the rights that the convention conveys should be applied universally or whether there should be exceptions made for cultural and religious groups. The legislation regarding women’s human rights through time is discussed, and the paper then evaluates CEDAW. Religion in reference to women is discussed as well as the family institution, sex tourism, female prostitution, property rights, and pornography traffic. The paper aims to examine whether the CEDAW helped all of the topics discussed before conclusions are made.
