The Treaty for the Rights of Women is the most complete international agreement on basic human rights for women. The Treaty has been ratified by 185 nations and has become an important tool to reduce violence and discrimination against women and girls, ensure girls and women receive  the same access as boys and men to education and health care, and secure basic legal recourse to women and girls against violations and abuses of their human rights.  The United States played an important role in drafting this Treaty, but is now one of eight that have yet to ratify it.  The Treaty has always had bipartisan support in the United States, but has never come before the full Senate for a vote. It is time for Senators to stand together in support of women across the globe and ratify the Treaty.
