L’article 5 de la CEDEF : l’obligation d’éliminer les stéréotypes de genre néfastes et injustifiés
This master’s thesis concerns one of the most fascinating provisions in international women’s rights: article 5 of the Convention on the Elimination of all Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW, adopted on December 18, 1979). This provision creates the obligation for State Parties to eliminate gender stereotypes that are wrong and unjustified. Moreover, this thesis wishes to address the impact of gender theories on the definition of the terms "sex" and "women" within the application and scope of article 5. Finally, this thesis will also aim to give meaning to a beneficial and justified gender stereotype, while keeping in mind the substantive equality objective of feminist movements.
