Women’s Rights

Women’s Rights refer to the legal, social, and economic rights that advocate for the equality of women in relation to men. This encompasses various rights and freedoms, such as the right to vote, access to education, the right to work and earn equal pay, reproductive rights, and protection from gender-based violence and discrimination. The movement for women’s rights seeks to address inequalities and injustices that women have historically faced in many societies. It promotes the idea that women should have the same rights and opportunities as men, thereby fostering gender equality. This term encompasses a broad range of issues including but not limited to voting rights, workplace rights, sexual and reproductive health rights, and freedom from domestic violence. Women’s rights are considered an essential aspect of human rights and are enshrined in various international agreements and national laws aimed at promoting equality and justice for all genders.
