[RED DEMOCRATICA] Want to improve the world? Start with CEDAW

 

Citizens for Global Solutions Education Fund
Donate Today!

This Thanksgiving, when we are gathered in the comfort of our homes, surrounded by the family and friends we love, we may take a moment to reflect on those that are less fortunate. Many people around the world do not have the luxury to enjoy what we celebrate on this joyous day. Instead, they endure hardships such as starvation, poverty and war.

This Black Friday and Cyber Monday will kick off the holiday shopping frenzy. For many women, however, these traditions are not an option due to acts of discrimination and violence perpetrated against them. Believe it or not, acts of discrimination are not confined to third-world countries, but exist in developed nations as well. 

Today, on #GivingTuesday, you can make a difference in the lives of women and girls with a gift to Citizens for Global Solutions!

Your gift today will help Citizens for Global Solutions assemble a powerful constituency of Americans to advocate for the ratification of CEDAW, the global women’s rights treaty.

Citizens for Global Solutions spearheaded a movement urging the U.S. Senate to ratify CEDAW. The 114th Congress has seen a record number of women elected to the Senate, and is in a better position than ever to answer our call. As co-chairs of the CEDAW Task Force of the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, we strive to educate Americans about the importance of this treaty.

Incredibly, the United States is one of only seven countries that has yet to ratify CEDAW, keeping company with known human rights violators like Iran and Somalia. With your help, we can urge the Senate to make CEDAW an enormous bipartisan agreement that would lead to real, concrete change in the lives of women and girls. If ratified, the effects of CEDAW will prove to be invaluable. 

This #GivingTuesday, be a global citizen and help secure and achieve women’s equality with a gift to Citizens for Global Solutions!

With thanks,

The Citizens for Global Solutions Team
