Out of the margins: the MDGs through a CEDAW lens
Overview
This article examines the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) from a women’s human rights perspective. It outlines some of the practical ways in which human rights principles, and the provisions set out in the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) in particular, can be used to ensure that the MDGs are met in a way that respects and promotes gender equality and women’s human rights.
