Women Rights

Women are regarded as the most beautiful and complete creation of god. She is also said to be the symbol of love, independence, caring, gentleness and intensity. A man does not go through the difficult and painful path as a woman does throughout their life. Men are emotionally no so stronger than women. However, women have not been treated nicely by men all throughout time. Women are deprived of their rights and their opportunities.

The reasons for the backwardness of women are as follows: -

1. Male dominant society
2. Traditional thinking and discrimination between male and female
3. Concept that women are not as stronger than men
4. Lack of proper reproductive health services
5. Ineffective women empowerment programmes

Those rights that promote a position of legal and social equality for women with men are called women rights. Every woman should have the ability to express their freedoms and rights, deserve equal treatment within their society and region, and every country needs to reinforce the rules for women. There is no equal respect and dignity for women as for men. Gender equality is still out of reach for many women worldwide.

One of the most important international women’s rights around the world is the Convention on the Elimination of Discrimination Against Women that provides the basis for realizing equality between women and men through ensuring women's equal access to, and equal opportunities in, political and public life. The Declaration on the Elimination of Violence Against Women spells out the wide forms of violence against women. Its wording includes the phrase, “Recognizing that violence against women is a manifestation of historically unequal power relations between men and women, which have led to domination over and discrimination against women by men.”

The constitution of Nepal, 2063 has declared equal rights for women on their parental property. The government would establish new rules for the education, health and employment of women. It would also punish those who violate women's right. The government have provided 33% inclusion of women in government sectors. Nepal has also adopted the principle in 1979 to provide all the rights to women reducing the discrimination against women. 8th March is celebrated as Women's Day every year.
