Treaty for the  Rights of Women
• The Treaty for the Rights of Women is often described as an international "Bill of Rights" for women.

• As of May, 2004, 177 countries have ratified the treaty. The U.S. has not. It has been signed by both Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton, rejected by Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush. Again recommended for ratification by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in 2002, the treaty has not been allowed to reach the Senate floor.
