The discrimination against women in the United States is worse than in most developed countries, according to findings of a United Nations expert group.
“The US, which is a leading state in formulating international human
rights standards, is allowing women to lag behind,” said the human
rights monitors, composing the UN expert group on the issue of
discrimination against women in law and in practice, at the end of an
official visit to the country.
The preliminary report which will be released in full to the UN Human

missing rights.”
The mission examined the conditions for women in areas like economic
and social life, access to health care, reproductive health and rights,
as well as women’s safety.
