Convenção sobre a eliminação de todas as formas de discriminação contra a mulher: desafios para efetivação dos direitos humanos relativos à saúde das mulheres em Ruanda e no Quênia

Abstract

This final paper aims to present the challenges related to the implementation of the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women, in the face of health issues in the countries of Rwanda and Kenya, presenting illustrations of how the countries position themselves on the realization of women's rights and gender equality, within health variables, specifically family planning, maternal mortality and female genital mutilation. The study was based on the evolution of Human Rights in International Relations. For this reason, the main authors used throughout the research were Piovesan (2012); Garbin (2021); Mazzuoli (2016); Guerra (2011); and the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (1979), which were analyzed through bibliographic reviews in primary and secondary sources with descriptive, exploratory and comparative research. Finally, the results consist of the way in which countries articulate to promote the realization of the right to women's health. Rwanda has achieved greater development than Kenya in health policies, based on the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women.
