The Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) was adopted by the UN General Assembly in 1979, and is officially described as the culmination of more than thirty years of work by the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women. Statement 1 is correct.
CEDAW's text devotes major attention to women's reproductive rights, alongside other civil, economic, social and cultural rights it protects. Statement 2 is correct.
