ALT CEDAW is often referred to as the Women's Bill of Rights. The UK agreed to follow these guidelines in 1986, and its goal is to put an end to any form of discrimination against women and promote gender equality. It ensures that all women and girls have equal opportunities and freedoms, and acts as a blueprint for state action to secure women's rights. It also requires stated to actively eliminate cultural norms and practices that perpetuate gender inequality.
ALT CEDAW's 30 articles include Article 7 (guaranteeing women's right to vote and exercise public functions) Article 10 (education without discrimination) Article 11 (right to work, including equal pay for equal work) and Article 15 (affirming women's legal equality with men). The Scottish Government has committed to integrating CEDAW into Scots law, through a new Human Rights Bill being introduced in June 2024.
