Convention on the Elimination of all forms of Discrimination Against Women

Locate the following United Nations Convention on the internet: CEDAW (Convention on the Elimination of all forms of Discrimination Against Women). Once you locate the convention, find the Country Report by Canada. Read the report and look for references made to Aboriginal women and violence in Canada.

Post a summary response about what you found, making sure that you provide a critical perspective on what has been reported by Canada. For example, do you think the references to Aboriginal women are significant in the report given the current statistics around violence against Aboriginal women in this country? Do you think the language is consistent with what you have been reading? What is your overall response to Canada’s report on violence against women?
