1. Introduction:

1.1 Background and Rationale:

Gender-based discrimination persists as a pervasive problem that affects the lives of countless women across the globe. To address this issue and promote gender equality, the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) was adopted on December 18, 1979, by the United Nations General Assembly. The Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) is an international treaty adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in 1979. CEDAW aims to promote and protect women’s rights, addressing gender-based discrimination in all areas of life. Through its enforcement mechanisms, CEDAW seeks to ensure compliance with the treaty’s provisions and hold states accountable for their obligations. This essay critically examines the enforcement mechanisms developed under CEDAW and its optional protocols, with a focus on the individual complaint process. It also explores the extent to which CEDAW provides for individual complaint processes and the inherent challenges faced in their implementation.
