The issue of violation of women’s rights started before 1848. People were never aware about this issue until women started taking action and fighting for their rights. It has been an issue for over 150 years and still, women are getting harassed and abused today.
In many parts of the world, many women are being punished for something they did wrong or something that others do not approve of. This is just one example of going against women's rights. Throughout history, many women have been discriminated just because of their gender. Women are looked down upon and treated as if they were useless or invisible. Not many people realize what is going on to the women around the world but that is soon to be changed.
Many people are involved and affected in this women's rights issue. The most obvious ones are the women who are being tortured, punished, and treated harshly. Other people who are involved are the people doing the torturing and punishing like the males in the family and the police. The women are the victims in this case because they are the targets of being abused and harassed. The people who do the crime like some men, police, etc. are the perpetrators because they commit an act against human rights. Other people involved are people in the governments because they refuse to get involved even when they are aware of this going on in the world. They are considered bystanders. Then there are people who are aware of this human rights issue and they decide to become a part of it by doing something to protect the women who are being hurt. They are often called the activists and they are allies. These are just some examples of the many people who become involved in a huge issue like fighting against women's rights.
The human rights violation is discrimination and abuse of women and their rights as humans. They do not deserve to be treated this way because of their gender. It violates the way women live their daily lives. They are abused and with this, it destroys their entire life. The voices of women in other countries are small so it is hard for them to have their voices heard out loud.
This women's rights violation is occurring because throughout history, women have been doing all the housework, caring for the children while the men fought in wars and being brave. This led to people looking down on women and what they did. The women didn't deserve to be looked down upon when they did so much to support other people. Even in some countries, men feel as if they are superior to women because they are stronger and show more power. Women can be just as strong and have just as much power as the men. When this issue occurs, it lets people be aware and lets activists speak up for the women who do not have a voice.
Women have been treated unequally for many years. Men and women are born equally so who gives men the right to overpower women? It is time for someone to say something!
