The Cabinet has decided to lift its reservations on paragraph four of Article 15 of the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW), related to women’s mobility. Lifting the reservation was a demand women activists have strongly advocated for, and called on the government to lift the two remaining reservations. In July 1992, the Kingdom signed the convention, which was ratified and published in the Official Gazette in August 2007, with three reservations related to the citizenship, housing and women’s mobility clauses.
