freedoms inherently possessed by or recognized for men and boys, and because activists

rights by women and girls.

The past two decades have seen women's organizations spring up
around the world.
Many are lawyers seeking justice for the underrepresented. They
campaign against torture, domestic violence, equal treatment at
work or for land rights and access to credit. All of these women are
human rights defenders.
This wave of courage, creativity and commitment has all too often
met a wall of government indifference and sometimes government
repression of the cruelest kind.
Few governments recognize the work of women's human rights
organizations as a legitimate exercise of fundamental civil and
political rights.

progress to earn equal right to men.We think that today,
women’s right are almost equal to men’s so it will take only a
minor effort to make our society even.
