The Organization of American States
The Organization of American States (OAS) is the oldest international institutional system advocating for more people's rights. It is based on four pillars: democracy, human rights, security, and development. The Inter-American Commission of Women (CIM) is a specialized organization within the OAS and was the first intergovernmental agency established to ensure recognition of women's human rights. It is the only hemispheric political forum for women's rights and gender equality. It supports the campaign for an Inter-American Convention on Sexual and Reproductive Rights.
