Women’s Rights

Women’s rights refer to the legal, social, and economic rights and entitlements that are claimed for women and girls around the world. These rights encompass a wide range of issues, including but not limited to equality in education, healthcare, employment, property ownership, and participation in political processes. The movement for women’s rights seeks to address inequalities and injustices that women face due to gender-based discrimination, and it advocates for laws and policies that promote gender equality and empower women. Historically, the struggle for women’s rights has included significant milestones such as the suffrage movement, which fought for women’s right to vote, and ongoing challenges such as combating violence against women and advocating for reproductive rights. Women’s rights are increasingly recognized as fundamental human rights that are essential for achieving broader social justice and equitable societies.
