The Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women recalls the inalienable rights of women which are already embodied in the above-mentioned conventions and declarations, but it goes further by recognizing the importance of culture and tradition in shaping the thinking and behaviour of men and women and the significant part they play in restricting the exercise of basic rights by women.
Comme les instruments cités ci-dessus, la Convention sur l'élimination de toutes les formes de discrimination à l'égard des femmes rappelle les droits inaliénables des femmes, mais elle va plus loin, car elle tient compte de l'influence que la culture et les traditions exercent sur les comportements et les mentalités de la collectivité, restreignant considérablement l'exercice par les femmes de leurs droits fondamentaux.
