Abstract

France has long presented itself as the country of human rights. However, both in the workplace and in French society at large, full protection of women’s rights is yet to be achieved. In this context, the paper starts with a brief history of women’s rights in France and then examines whether the Convention on the Elimination of all Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) has been a significant judicial weapon to address the protection gaps, and the impact CEDAW has had on French society as a whole outside the Courts. In these two areas, the paper concludes that the impact has been limited and attempts to explain why it has been so.
