Women’s Rights

Women’s rights refer to the legal, social, and economic rights that promote gender equality and ensure that women have the same opportunities and protections as men. These rights encompass a wide range of issues, including but not limited to the right to vote, education, work, health care, and protection from violence and discrimination. The movement for women’s rights seeks to address systemic inequalities and empower women to participate fully in all aspects of society. Historically, women’s rights have been pursued through activism, legislation, and advocacy, aiming to dismantle patriarchy and promote equity. The concept is grounded in the principles of human rights and emphasizes that gender inequality affects not only women but society as a whole.
