On December 18, 1979, the United Nations approved The Convention to Eliminate All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW). As of 2020, 187 nations out of the 194 member nations of the UN have approved this convention or treaty. The United States is one of only seven nations that has not yet approved it. The United States stands together with Sudan, South Sudan, Somalia, Iran, and two small Pacific islands, Tonga and Palau in failing to ratify CEDAW.
