On May 14, at 6 p.m., Bozeman Cities for CEDAW will stand together and ask our Bozeman city commission to pass a resolution to advance the human rights of all women and girls.
CEDAW (Convention to Eliminate All Forms of Discrimination Against Women) (Text here.)
is a 1979 international Women’s Bill of Rights that has yet to be ratified by the U.S. Although the U.S. is the only developed country in the world that hasn’t ratified CEDAW, change can still be made at a local level. (Hmm. What about undeveloped nations? Some of the worst nations for women's rights have signed on. Like the Congo, which signed on in 1980, but is among the worst discriminators against women.
Given this, what is the point of CEDAW? How is it that nations like Sudan and Ethiopia have signed on but women there are still barely more than chattel?)
In Montana, we see discrimination against women and girls in our backyards. Domestic violence is pervasive (Emphasis added.)
with 117 Montana women killed by partners since 2000. (Murder is already illegal. How does CEDAW improve the situation?
And by the way, while any murder is regrettable, 117 murders over 18 years is not statistically a crisis. In fact, murder of women ranks 44th for cause of death. And Gallatin County has the lowest homicide rate of any county in Montana at 1.3 murders per 100,000. The national average is 6.16 per 100,000.
CEDAW is the product of people who live in big leftist cities where violence and evil are endemic. This simply a manufactured crisis to push a leftist utopian agenda. It won't solve any problem in Bozeman, because it isn't intended to. The intent is to keep the issue alive as a bludgeon to wield against us.)
Montana women earn 73 cents for every $1 men earn. (One writer to the Bozeman Chronicle admits, "There are those who argue women earn less because they tend to pursue less lucrative professions and choose to interrupt their careers to bear children. But even when these variables are factored in, a significant wage-gender gap persists." Hmm. So that means the 73 cents is a lie. In fact, the figure is closer to 91 cents, according to the leftist website Slate.
But the lie is easier to believe.)
Montana women are disproportionately represented in persons who live in poverty. (This is false. In Montana, 49.7 percent of those in poverty are women.)
And access to reproductive healthcare continues to be threatened. (That is, it's getting harder to kill your baby.)
The good news: CEDAW works. (That is, in places where there is extreme poverty and violence and oppression, some of the principles of CEDAW are relevant.)
It has empowered local governments to respect women’s human rights and to adopt policies to limit sex trafficking, domestic violence, and discrimination in the workplace. Around the world, CEDAW has been used to provide access to education and occupational training, ensure the right to vote, improve maternal health care, safeguard the ability to work, and end child marriage. (Absent CEDAW, would the changes not have occurred?)
Whether your passion is discrimination at work, the safety of your children, full rights to education, access to health care, or simply equality, CEDAW will make our community healthier and safer.
That is why Bridgercare is proud to support and endorse a Bozeman Cities for CEDAW resolution on May 14, at the city commission meeting.
