It is time to consider passing a CEDAW Ordinance for the city of Bozeman! The UN Convention on the
Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW), is an initiative that has been adopted
by almost all other nations, yet the U.S. is one of the few that has failed to do so. Taking a more grassroots
approach to this problem has created a movement that has led cities and counties to pass ordinances of
their own which adopt the actions defined in CEDAW. In the year 2018, gender equality should no longer be
an issue-- yet, women and girls still find ourselves victims of wage discrimination, escalating rates of
interpersonal violence and human sex trafficking and slavery, anti-reproductive rights measures, and other
debilitating forms of oppression. Women are lacking appropriate political representation, as well as
representation in positions of power. CEDAW is a reasonable response to all of these forms of
discrimination and provides solutions in a comprehensive manner. Isn't it time the Bozeman City
Commission express their respect for women by seriously considering passing CEDAW?
Thank you,
City Of Bozeman
