The protection of the rights of women in international law

Abstract EN

Women's rights received a great deal of attention, particularly after the foundation of the united nations in 1945.

the secretary general of the organisation adopted a wide range of global norms and international standards such as declarations and legal binding conventions that recognize the full rights and freedom of women worldwide.

it strongly affirmed that the empowerment of women is a prerequisite to achieve sustainable development and maintain peace and security in the world.

however, despite the global efforts of human rights movement that fight hard for the respect and dignity of women to achieve gender equality and same opportunities between man and woman, there are still many places across the globe where women are denied their fundamental rights .they are also facing gender based violence, exclusion, harassment, and discrimination which affect deeply women and undermine their rights.
