From a letter received today:
Join WHRC in signing this open letter to CEDAW
On Saturday 4 December 2021, Dr Leticia Bonifaz Alfonzo’s article 'Esta lucha es mía' (‘This Struggle Is Mine’) was published in the ‘El Universal’, a Mexican newspaper of nationwide circulation, in which she concluded that men who claim a female 'gender identity' should be included within feminism.
Dr Bonifaz was elected, on 9 November 2020, to the committee of independent experts who monitor the implementation of the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW). Her view is in direct contravention of CEDAW, which aims to protect women's rights 'on the basis of sex'.
WHRC asks you to sign this open letter, organised by abolitionist feminists, asking why Dr Bonifaz a year ago accepted the important responsibility of overseeing compliance with CEDAW when, as is evident from ‘This Struggle Is Mine’, she is in profound disagreement with its principles and reason for existing.
