Women’s Rights

Women’s rights refer to the legal, social, and economic principles that advocate for the equal treatment and opportunities of women in comparison to men. This concept encompasses a broad range of issues, including the right to vote, work, education, reproductive rights, and protection from discrimination and violence. Women’s rights movements have historically sought to address inequalities faced by women and to promote gender equity in various spheres of life. The framework of women’s rights is often aligned with human rights, asserting that all individuals, regardless of gender, should have the same rights and freedoms. Efforts to advance women’s rights continue to evolve, addressing systemic barriers and advocating for policies that support equality and empowerment for women globally.
