0 ti No. 2017-24, Draft 1
RESOLUTION SUPPORTING THE
PRINCIPLES OF THE UNITED NATIONS' CONVENTION ON THE
ELIMINATION OF ALL FORMS OF DISCRIMINATION AGAINST WOMEN
WHEREAS, although women have made significant gains in the struggle for
equality in most fields, more action is necessary to fully eradicate discrimination
based on sex and gender; and
WHEREAS, in 1979, the United Nations General Assembly adopted the
Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women
("the Convention"); and
WHEREAS, in 1981, the Convention entered into force as an international
treaty, and it is the only human -rights treaty focused on women's rights; and
WHEREAS, out of the 194 nations in the world, the United States of America,
Sudan, South Sudan, Somalia, Iran, Palau, and Tonga are the seven nations that
have not ratified the Convention; and
WHEREAS, in nations that have ratified the Convention, women have
partnered with their governments to improve the status of women and girls by
changing laws and policies to provide safer environments and opportunities for
women, girls, and their families; and
WHEREAS, state, county, and other forms of municipal governments have an
appropriate and legitimate role in affirming the importance of international laws as
universal norms and guides for public policy in communities; and
WHEREAS, the "Cities for the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of
Discrimination Against Women" campaign seeks to protect the rights of women and
girls by passing legislation that establishes the principles of the Convention in cities
and towns across the United States; and
WHEREAS, the State of Hawaii, the City and County of Honolulu, and the
County of Hawaii have become the most recent government entities to join the "Cities
for the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against
Women" campaign; now, therefore,
WHEREAS, the Council of the County of Kauai recognizes that women have
made gains in the struggle for equality in many fields, but that more needs to be
accomplished to fully eradicate discrimination based on gender and its connection
and intersectionality between other forms of discrimination to achieve one of the most
basic human rights: equality; now, therefore,
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE COUNTY OF KAUAI,
STATE OF HAWAII, that the County of Kauai use and enforce the principles of the
Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women as a
policy guide to improve safety and promote equal access to and equity in health care,
employment, economic development, housing, and educational opportunities for
women and girls, and to continue to address the ongoing and critical problems of
violence against women and girls.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the County of Kauai ensure women and
girls enjoy all the rights and privileges and remedies that are bestowed on all people
in the United States, no matter race, national origin, gender, sexual orientation or
religious belief, and with a purpose to claim worldwide that the County is one within
which women and girls can thrive.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the County of Kauai will not tolerate
discrimination against women and girls or violence perpetrated against them in any
form, by any hand.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that this Resolution is another step in the
Council's commitment to eliminating all forms of violence against women and girls,
their health and safety, and their equal academic, economic, and business
opportunities.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that this Resolution shall be interpreted as
supporting the eradication of all forms of discrimination against women and girls and
promoting gender equality through the County.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the County of Kauai is urged to work
with the Hawaii State Commission on the Status of Women and the County of Kauai
Committee on the Status of Women to ensure gender equality in the County of Kauai.
BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED, that the County Clerk shall transmit a copy of
this Resolution to the Honorable Mayor Bernard P. Carvalho, Jr., the Hawaii State
Commission on the Status of Women, the County of Kauai Committee on the Status
of Women, and all County departments and agencies.
