STORYLINE:
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights promises equality and freedom for everyone everywhere.
But the principle of gender equality might never have been included if not for these women- who advocated for a Declaration that was truly universal.
Eleanor Roosevelt, former First Lady of the United States, was the head of the drafting committee that wrote the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
Despite passionate differences in opinion, she kept the committee unified and shepherded the Universal Declaration’s passage.
Hansa Mehta of India succeeded in changing the text from “All men” to “All human beings are born free and equal…”
Minerva Bernadino, a diplomat from the Dominican Republic, was instrumental in including “the equality of men and women” in the preamble.
Begum Shaista Ikramullah, a delegate from Pakistan championed Article 16, on equal rights in marriage.
Bodil Begtrup of Denmark advocated that the Universal Declaration refer to “all” or “everyone”, as opposed to “all men”.
Marie-Hélène Lefaucheux of France advocated for the inclusion of gender equality in Article 2.
Evdokia Uralova of Byelorussia argued for the inclusion of “equal pay for equal work” in Article 23.
Lakshmi Menon, delegate from India, passionately advocated that the principle of gender equality be included throughout the document.
Without these women, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights would not be the shining beacon for equality and freedom that it is today.
Other women paved the way, by fighting for women’s rights in drafting the UN Charter in 1945.
Bertha Lutz of Brazil led a group of female delegates who successfully advocated for women’s rights in the UN Charter.
Together with Jessie Street of Australia, several Latin American women delegates championed the equal rights of women and men.
Among those who played key roles in this group were Minerva Bernadino of the Dominican Republic and Amalia C. de Castillo Ledón of Mexico.
As well as Isabel Sánchez de Urdaneta of Venezula, and Uruguayan Senator Isabel de Vidal.
The UN Charter, along with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, provide the basis for global peace and equality, and they would be significantly different without the work of these women.
