Rights of Women: National and International Perspective
Abstract
The paper explores India's complex relationship with women's rights, highlighting the significant role women play in society and the various contributions they make. Despite being half of the world's population, women still face discrimination, violence, and gender prejudice. The article discusses the development of women's rights over time, focusing on issues like healthcare, equality, employment, and political engagement. It highlights the legal and constitutional framework, as well as global accords, that support gender equality and defend women's rights. The article also discusses the Indian Constitution's clauses and laws regarding harassment at work, maternity benefits, and discrimination. The article concludes by acknowledging the improvements in women's rights but also emphasizes the ongoing challenges they face, particularly in terms of safety and security. Lastly, this article provides a thorough examination of women's rights in India, including both the legal system and the difficulties women face in everyday life.
