PREFACE

This study was undertaken by the Task Force on Sex Discrimination of the United States Department of Justice, at the request of the United States Delegate to the Inter American Commission of Women.

The Inter American Commission of Women is a permanent, specialized agency of the Organization of American States. Since its establishment in 1928, the Commission has participated in promoting, mobilizing, training, and organizing the Women of the Americas to increase their participation in all fields of human endeavor.

To celebrate its Fiftieth Anniversary in 1978, the Commission recommended to each member State that it publish and disseminate a report on the status of women, which could then provide the basis for a comparative study on the status of women throughout the Americas.
