UN Committee stands with women and girls in global anti-racism protests
GENEVA (10 July 2020) The UN women's rights committee has called for a new era of human rights and gender justice, stressing that the lives of black women and girls also matter.
In a statement issued today, the Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) said it stood in solidarity with the millions of women and girls who joined the protests after the killing of George Floyd, insisting that their voices calling for an end of racism be heard.
The violence inflicted on George Floyd by four police officers in the United States in May has generated anti-racist protests and solidarity movements throughout the world.
