WOMEN’S RIGHTS

All around the world, women share the same rights. The right to live free from
violence and slavery; the right to be educated; the right to expression and freedom to vote. It’s
unfortunate that women’s rights are violated in this world especially in Africa. As a result,
women are facing many problems. They have fewer economic opportunities and political
representations. They are also confronted with violence and abuse. The root causes of
violence against women are gender inequality and discrimination which strengthen women’s
low status in society.

The deal with this important issue, many human rights organisations are working to
achieve a gender equal society in Africa. This is necessary foundation for a peaceful and
prosperous society. That’s why they are sensitizing people about women’s rights and their
performance. But we all need to support their efforts to make their work successful.
Governments, for example, must do more to serve the needs of poor and excluded women by
protecting and advancing their rights. Improving transportation facilities will enable access to
villages where the majority of illiterate women need to know about their rights. Otherwise
women’s rights will always be neglected.
