Women’s Rights

Women’s rights refer to the legal, social, and cultural rights that promote the equality and freedom of women. This concept encompasses a range of issues including but not limited to the right to vote, work, education, reproductive rights, bodily autonomy, and protection from gender-based violence and discrimination. The movement for women’s rights aims to eliminate gender-based inequalities and empower women to participate fully in all aspects of society. Originating in the pursuit of equality during various historical contexts, such as the suffrage movements, women’s rights have evolved to address ongoing challenges faced by women worldwide. The recognition of women’s rights as human rights highlights the universal call for gender equity and justice.
