The Far Side of Women’s Participatory Rights as the Dark Side of the Moon: The Unseen Article 8 CEDAW
Abstract
The structure of the present working paper is developed from and mirrors the division in songs of Pink Floyd’s album The Dark Side of the Moon at half a century (2023) from its release in 1973, as a metaphor - a methodological device – in the humble attempt to offer a different, original and catchy interpretation of Articles 7 and 8 CEDAW Convention, adopted in 1979. In my view, the Convention and the Album share a number of similarities (explained throughout the paper) and are the products and results of movements demanding the protection of human rights, especially civil and political rights in the ‘70s – the feminist movement being the one which has specifically led to the adoption of the CEDAW Convention.
