Examining the Convention for Safeguarding Intangible Cultural Heritage,and the Declaration on Cultural Diversity
Women rights activists/feminists have long argued that in order to end discrimination against women, there must be agreement that “culture” is not a valid justification for gender inequality. When drafting international conventions and declarations, attention must be directed not only to existing human rights instruments but also to those pertaining to women.

This paper seeks to explain why there is a need for attention to the human rights of women when implementing the Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage and the Universal Declaration of Cultural Diversity.
