18. CEDAW, contains six parts and thirty articles, with a clear focus on elevating the status of women to that of men in the area of human rights. In CEDAW's opening statements, States ratifying or acceding to this convention acknowledge that the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and subsequent international covenants all aim to eliminate discrimination on the basis of gender. However, concerns exist that "despite these various instruments extensive discrimination against women continues to exist" and "in situations of poverty women have the least access to food, health, education, training and opportunities for employment and other needs". State party to CEDAW are convinced that the "full and complete development of a country, the welfare of the world, and the cause of peace require the maximum participation of
women on equal terms with men in all fields". States bear in mind "the great contribution of women to the welfare of the family and to the development of society, so far not fully recognized." States also bear in mind the "social significance of maternity and the role of both parents in the family and in the upbringing of children". States are "aware that the role of women in procreation should not be a basis for discrimination but that the upbringing of children requires a sharing of responsibility between men and women and society as a whole." States are aware that " a change in the traditional role of men as well as the role of women in society and in the family is needed to achieve full equality between men and women." States party to CEDAW then agree to adopt measures required for the elimination of gender discrimination in all its "forms and manifestations".
Any distinction, exclusion, or restriction made on the basis of sex which has the effect or purpose of impairing or nullifying the recognition, enjoyment, or exercise by women irrespective of marital status, are a basis of equality of men and women, of human rights and fundamental freedoms in the political, economic, social, cultural, civil or any other field falls in the category of unreasonable classification. Such practice has to be discouraged.
