Bangladesh has signed 8 core Human
Rights Treaties and Protocols
OHCHR/UNDP
Bangladesh is a state party to almost all
the major human rights treaties
including CEDAW. Bangladesh ratified
CEDAW in 1984 but till today it holds
reservations on Articles- 2 (obligation to
review and change constitutions, laws
and policies concerning discrimination
against women, and -16.1[c] (Equality
in the family). While the Government
feels that these provisions conflict with
Islamic laws, women movement groups
view these reservations infringing upon
the protection of their rights to eliminate
discrimination against women.
