The Phrase "Women Rights"

The phrase “Women’s Rights are Human Rights” is far more than a catchy slogan. The underlining thesis of this essay is women rights that are always denied and that violence against women is human rights violation and is unacceptable. The Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women, Article 2 (e) stipulates that States Parties will undertake “all appropriate measures to eliminate discrimination against women by any person, organization or enterprise” [emphasis added]. Subsequent articles deal with such matters as eliminating discrimination in access to education, health and employment as well as ensuring equality in matters pertaining to family, nationality and related areas
