Women’s Rights

Women’s rights refer to the legal, social, and economic rights that promote the equality and dignity of women in society. This encompasses a wide range of issues, including the right to vote, access to education and healthcare, equal pay for equal work, freedom from violence and discrimination, reproductive rights, and the ability to participate fully in public and political life. The movement for women’s rights aims to dismantle systemic barriers and cultural norms that hinder women’s personal and professional opportunities. It seeks to ensure that women have the same rights and protections as men under the law, and that they can exercise those rights without fear of reprisal or discrimination. Women’s rights are considered a fundamental aspect of human rights and are supported by various international agreements and treaties, such as the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW).
