CEDAW is the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women, adopted in 1979 by the UN General Assembly. It consists of a preamble and 30 articles and establishes equality of rights for women as a basic UN principle. 64 states initially signed the convention in 1980 and it entered into force in 1981 after 20 states had ratified it, faster than any previous human rights convention. The convention establishes state obligations, substantive equality, and non-discrimination as key principles to eliminate discrimination against women.
