San Francisco was the first US city to pass an ordinance implementing the principles underlying CEDAW. The effort was spearheaded by WILD for Human Rights who worked in collaboration with members of city government, policy makers, and advocates to provide training on CEDAW and organize a public hearing that was held on October 30, 1997. The result of their efforts was the passage of a bill on April 13, 1998 instituting the principles that underlie the U.N. Convention on the Elimination of all forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW).
