Adopt formal decision supporting UN women's rights treaty
In Plain English
Richmond became a Human Rights City in 2009 and wants to strengthen its commitment to women's equality. The UN treaty against discrimination toward women passed in 1979, but the US never ratified it. San Francisco adopted it locally in 1998 and saw more women reach leadership roles in major departments.
