This study is undertaken to provide UNICEF with recommendations for supporting the withdrawal of reservations to the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW). While the problem of reservations is well documented as a legal issue, the practical effect of reservations on the primary stakeholders{\textemdash}women, girls, families, and communities{\textemdash}and the practical issues surrounding withdrawal of reservations have received much less attention.\&nbsp;



This paper provides an overview of the legal and practical implications of reservations; an examination of the different domestic legal systems in which reservations are entered; a {\textquotedblleft}mapping{\textquotedblright} of the current reservations to CEDAW; and an exploration of the domestic legal and political contexts in which some of the most critical reservations have been withdrawn.\&nbsp;
