Women’s rights refer to the legal, social, and economic rights and freedoms that are granted to women and girls. This encompasses the pursuit of gender equality, ensuring that women have the same rights and opportunities as men in various aspects of life, including education, employment, property ownership, and political participation. Women’s rights movements advocate against discrimination, violence, and inequality based on gender, aiming to empower women and uphold their dignity and autonomy. The concept is rooted in the belief that all individuals, regardless of gender, should have equal access to resources, decision-making, and the ability to lead fulfilling lives free from oppression.
