San Jose made history on Dec. 19, 2017 as the first city in Santa Clara County that unanimously approved an ordinance recognizing the UN’s Convention on the Elimination of All forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW), also known as the Women’s Bill of Rights.
Thanks to the Vice Mayor’s leadership and vision, today all of the City Council members voted unanimously to move forward with a Women’s Bill of Rights Ordinance (of course this is a very short version of everything we did!). This is a big victory for all of us but most importantly this is a huge victory for all women living in this area and beyond.
