The United States is the only industrialized country that has yet to ratify it. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEssays and personal reflections written by 42 former and current members of CEDAW's Committee and five UN staff members reveal the profound impact this Convention has had on women's lives around the world.
