Woman's Rights
"The term women's
rights refers to
freedoms and
entitlements of
women and girls of
all ages. These
rights may or may
not be
institutionalized,
ignored or
suppressed by law,
local custom, and
behavior in a
particular society.
These liberties are
grouped together and
differentiated from
broader notions of
human rights
because they often
differ from the
freedoms inherently
possessed by or
recognized for men
and boys, and
because activists
for this issue claim
an inherent
historical and
traditional bias
against the exercise
of rights by women
and girls.
Issues commonly
associated with
notions of women's
rights include,
though are not
limited to, the
right: to bodily
integrity and
autonomy; to
vote (suffrage);
to hold public
office; to work; to
fair wages or equal
pay; to own
property;
to education; to
serve in the
military or be
conscripted; to
enter into legal
contracts; and
to have marital, parental and religious rights.
Women and their supporters have campaigned and in
some places continue to campaign for the same rights
as men."
