rights of women

Women's rights refer to the legal, social, and economic rights that promote gender equality and protect women from discrimination and violence. These rights include the right to vote, work, education, and make decisions about their bodies and lives. They also encompass protections against domestic violence and sexual harassment. International agreements, like the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW), seek to ensure these rights globally. Advocacy continues to address ongoing issues such as reproductive rights, pay equity, and representation in leadership positions, aiming to create a more equitable society for all genders.
