Abstract / Summary

This report to the Pan American Union detailed the work of the Inter-American Commission of Women (Comisión Interamericana de Mujeres (CIM)) since the 1946 conference in Bogotá. In the three years since the previous conference, the CIM had compiled a report of codes and laws regarding women in order to review which ones discriminated against women based on sex. The areas of study included the nationality of married women, women’s political rights, civil rights, and women’s labor rights. This report also detailed trips made by Bernardino as President of the CIM to speak to the United Nations as well as to government officials in Argentina.
