Women’s Rights

Women’s rights refer to the legal, social, and political rights that are afforded to women, advocating for equality between genders. This includes the right to vote, work, receive education, own property, and make decisions about their own bodies and lives. Women’s rights movements aim to challenge and change societal norms and laws that perpetuate discrimination and inequality based on gender. These rights seek to ensure that women have equal opportunities and protections under the law, and address issues such as gender-based violence, reproductive rights, and workplace equality. The struggle for women’s rights is part of the broader fight for human rights and social justice, asserting that women should have the same legal and moral standing as men in all aspects of life.
