The city of San Francisco is notorious for breaking the United States' political mold. When it comes to women's organizing, the trend is no different. In 1998, San Francisco became the first municipality to adopt CEDAW: the Convention on the Elimination of Discrimination Against Women. A United Nations human rights declaration, CEDAW has been ratified by 185 countries around the world; but not San Francisco's own federal government. The International Museum of Women, which is based in San Francisco, looks at how one unorthodox city is attracting the world's attention by transcending its own national borders and turning CEDAW into policies that better women's lives.
