Be careful what you wish for.
CEDAW was written at a time when "woman" in law meant "of the sex producing large gametes", because back then no-one was stupid or Machievellian enough to suggest reading it any other way. It protects women as a sex.
Any update attempt is likely to be hijacked by the transvestite lobby, who will include a definition to mean "woman = woman plus any man who utters the magic words 'I identify as a woman'" and a definition of sex as "fargnaglle kerflumpt spectrum gerwotsit DSD boojum woojit." In other words, CEDAW will be rendered toothless (which, in fairness it probably is at the moment) and incoherent.
