On this page we look at the history of women’s rights, what women’s rights actually are, and what Amnesty is doing.

Description

We are all entitled to human rights. These include the right to live free from violence and discrimination; to enjoy the highest attainable standard of physical and mental health; to be educated; to own property; to vote; and to earn an equal wage. Through research, advocacy and campaigning, Amnesty International pressures the people in power to respect women’s rights.
