Abstract

Human rights remain inalienable to all mankind irrespective of their race, gender, class, geography among other considerations. Biological difference remains the only distinction between men and women. The conceptual analysis of human rights and the nature of these rights, legal frameworks for the protection of women’s rights, human rights of women and their derogations and notable issues and trends in women’s right are also examined in this paper. Various protectionist measures both by way of statutory safeguards and women advocacy groups are equally the focus of this paper. Suggestions have also been made to explore better ways of protecting the enforcement of women’s human rights in order to accord women the opportunity to contribute their quota towards the development of humanity at all levels.

Keywords: Women, Rights, Issues, Trends, Violence
