Women’s Rights

Women’s rights refer to the legal, social, and economic rights and entitlements that women should have on an equal basis with men. This includes the right to vote, work, receive an education, own property, and live free from violence and discrimination. The movement for women’s rights seeks to address inequalities and injustices faced by women in various aspects of life, advocating for gender equality and the empowerment of women. The concept encompasses a wide range of issues, including reproductive rights, equal pay, access to healthcare, and protection from gender-based violence. Women’s rights are often considered part of human rights, as they focus on ensuring that all individuals, regardless of gender, are treated fairly and equally under the law and in society.
