the committee has adopted, in its stands and its work, the principle that the advancement of woman's political rights is the condition of her enjoyment of the other rights.
But this does not mean that the committee has neglected woman's rights in the other fields — pending the completion of her enjoyment of political rights. Not at all. Rather, the Women's Rights Committee has given education, instruction, and culture the utmost care, just as it has also concerned itself with woman's financial, social, and personal rights; and it has aimed, from the outset, to bring all peoples to a stage of social progress in which the rising generation — boys and girls alike — enjoys equal opportunities in education: compulsory, free, complete education; and in specialization, and in the enjoyment of the fruits of learning.
Nor was the committee content to register this principle and leave it ink on paper: it announced its resolve to strive for its application and generalization, and accordingly entrusted the Secretary-General with drawing up a comprehensive program for this purpose, in cooperation with the UNESCO organization and the International Labour Organization.
(4) Economic Rights:
The committee realized that equality in political rights and educational rights does not suffice unless it is joined with equality in economic rights as well. It has therefore set before its eyes the principle of complete equality between man and woman in the enjoyment of the rights of work, wages, rest, and whatever pertains to them. The question of economic systems, and the degree to which they allow men and women equality in work and wages, is still under study by the committee, in cooperation with the International Labour Organization and the World Federation of Trade Unions, and under the supervision of the
Economic and Social Council.
(5) Nationality:
The Women's Rights Committee has also felt, from the outset, that the subject of nationality is one of those in which discrimination between man and woman abounds — I mean by this the nationality of a woman married to a foreign man. The committee has striven, and still strives, for the adoption of the principle of equality in the right of each of
the two spouses to keep his or her original nationality after marriage, and to leave the nationality of their children for the children themselves to decide after they reach the age of majority.
(6) Family and Personal Rights:
Finally, the Women's Rights Committee has turned its attention to woman's family position, and to the rights which the laws of the various countries grant her in home and family. In this respect it has
