The number one priority for women in terms of US Action this year, is to ratify CEDAW because America is one of the 7 countries in the world that has not made a move to sign on and ratify CEDAW. She is hopeful the CEDAW ratification will be done within this administration, with the support of the President & Vice President. Governments and women around the globe are watching to see if the US will “Walk the Talk”, and there should be a recognition to match the talk with much needed action.
