Women’s Rights

Women’s rights refer to the legal, social, and economic rights and entitlements claimed for women and girls. These rights aim to achieve gender equality and involve various aspects such as the right to vote, work, education, reproductive rights, and protection from violence and discrimination. The movement for women’s rights advocates for women to have the same opportunities and protections as men in all areas of life. This includes addressing systemic inequalities and patriarchal structures that limit women’s autonomy and influence. Women’s rights are recognized as human rights, emphasizing that the rights of women and girls are integral to universal human rights principles. The promotion and protection of women’s rights have gained international attention through various treaties, legislation, and social movements throughout history, striving to improve the status and conditions of women across cultures.
