Abstract:
The present article tries to highlight the connections between Dalit women's rights, human rights, and the forms of domination and fight practiced on them. It closely examines the suffering and literary works that have been created about Dalit women’s bodies and existence. Due to their gender, economic circumstance, and ethnicity, Dalit women's bodies, experiences, and rights continue to be seen with bias. The importance of this article lies in its attempt to highlight the trauma experienced by Dalit women, caste divide in Indian culture, and resistance to numerous power discourses that must also be addressed as a component of human rights. The goal of this article is to investigate how Dalit women are subjected to emotional manipulation by men who pretend to take care of them. The reason for this is that people utilise this tactic to objectify and possess their physique. It also tries to investigate Dalit women’s self-perceptions and rights, which are governed by men. It is significant because Dalit males need to be aware of the negative consequences that men have on Dalit women's lives. The current essay also aims to illustrate the issue with Dalit women’s rights in both public and private life.

Abstract:
This paper explores women's rights and women's land rights in postcolonial Tunisia and Morocco by examining the legal institutions and social discourse that shape these rights. Tunisia and Morocco share key similarities as well as important differences, and studying women's rights and women's land rights provides a rewarding comparison of how two postcolonial states address these contested issues. Understanding land rights requires an understanding of the institutions that govern and administer land. Accordingly, this paper investigates key land and property arrangements from the colonial and postcolonial eras in these two states. Likewise, understanding women's rights requires an understanding of the social and cultural considerations of women's status in Islamic society, as well as the women's rights movements and women's rights discourse that emerged in Tunisia and Morocco.This paper contains five parts. Part I explores the relationship between extractive institutions, development narratives, and the legal system in colonial and postcolonial states. Part II investigates land rights within colonial and postcolonial Tunisia and Morocco, as well as the institutions that govern and administer land in these two states. Parts III and IV examine the legal construction of gender in postcolonial Tunisia and Morocco. These parts also detail the emergence of strong women's rights movements and women's rights discourse in both states. Part V concludes by discussing the importance of women's land rights and the challenges and opportunities for securing strong women's land rights in Tunisia and Morocco.
Ce document explore les droits des femmes et les droits fonciers des femmes en post-coloniale en Tunisie et au Maroc en examinant les institutions juridiques et discours social qui façonnent ces droits. Tunisie et le Maroc partagent des similitudes clés ainsi que des différences importantes, et d'étudier les droits des femmes et les droits fonciers des femmes fournit une comparaison enrichissante de la façon dont deux états postcoloniaux répondre à ces questions litigieuses. Comprendre les droits fonciers nécessite une compréhension des institutions qui gouvernent et administrent la terre. En conséquence, le présent document examine fonciers et immobiliers dispositions clés des époques coloniale et postcoloniale dans ces deux états. De même, la compréhension des droits de la femme exige une compréhension des considérations sociales et culturelles de la situation des femmes dans la société islamique, ainsi que les mouvements des droits des femmes et les droits du discours de femmes qui a émergé en Tunisie et au Maroc.Ce document contient cinq parties. Partie I étudie la relation entre les institutions extractives, les récits de développement, et le système judiciaire dans les états coloniaux et postcoloniaux. Partie II examine les droits fonciers dans la coloniale et postcoloniale Tunisie et le Maroc, ainsi que les institutions qui gouvernent et administrent les terres dans ces deux états. Les parties III et IV examinent la construction juridique de l'égalité dans postcoloniale Tunisie et le Maroc. Ces pièces détaillera également l'émergence de puissants mouvements de défense des droits des femmes et des discours sur les droits des femmes dans les deux états. Partie V conclut en discutant de l'importance des droits fonciers des femmes et les défis et opportunités pour la sécurisation des droits fonciers solides des femmes en Tunisie et au Maroc.

Full text
Abstract:
Using a masculinities and human rights framework, this thesis explores civil society advocacy to address sexual violence. This thesis provides recommendations aimed at enhancing civil society effectiveness. Ultimately, seeking to reduce the real rate of rape and improve survivors’ access to justice. This study seeks to respond to current literature gaps to: broaden our understanding of human rights advocacy, examine activists’ conceptualisation of masculinities and human rights as a field, identify the impact of this field of women’s rights - and explore how responses to sexual violence may account for men’s experiences of victimisation. Alongside a review of the literature, this thesis uses two case studies to address the research questions. The first of these case studies looks at civil society advocacy to enact and implement the Criminal Law (Sexual Offences and Related Matters) Amendment Act 32 of 2007. The second of these case studies explores the work of a South African based ‘masculinities and human rights’ NGO, named Sonke Gender Justice Network. This thesis challenges the dominant literature on human rights advocacy. In contrast to the literature’s focus on transnational advocacy networks, this study explores a domestic network which is a product of new cross-sector alliances. The exploration of male rape in South Africa introduces two new concepts: accidental and ambivalent advocacy. These concepts are applied in order to explain how male rape came to be legally recognised, without concerted advocacy to champion the rights of male rape victims. Ultimately, this thesis argues that the impacts of a masculinities and human rights framework are contradictory and dependent on the way the framework is realised in practice. The framework provides some opportunities for developing civil society advocacy to address male rape. However, the way the framework is currently implemented by South Africa’s largest masculinities and human rights NGO raises concerns regarding its impact on women’s rights.

Abstract:
This thesis is based on a minor field study (MFS) with the aim of investigating what habitus and forms of capital facilitate women’s rights activism in Assam, India – a state described as highly patriarchal but also a place where women enjoy higher status than elsewhere in the country. Using the concepts of capital and habitus and elements from social movement- and feminist theory, I analyze interviews with eight Assamese women’s rights activists. I conclude that the habitus of social engagement has been embodied early in most participants and that they all possess strong cultural and social capital that enable them to act. The identity of being independent is an integrated part of the participants and it is also what they strive to implement in the communities of women they work with.

Abstract:
The long struggle of women to enter politics, despite their long march to obtain these rights, has resulted in the culture of various human societies throughout different eras, where the problem of objecting to their participation in the conduct of public affairs, especially politically, has been overcome, and this is what the provisions of international law currently embody by removing the various barriers that hindered their effective contribution to the service of humanity, by granting them the right to make decisions in various fields and at all levels in the various organs of the State, and at the head of These rights include the right of women to participate in political decision-making, and their right to hold senior positions and assume all public positions in the State. Women's equal participation in political life plays a very important role in the process of the advancement of women in general, as it is not only a requirement of justice and simple democracy, but can also be considered a necessary condition for taking into account the interests of women

Abstract:
Abstract Outsiders may wonder what Brazilian women’s lives are like here and who the women activists influencing human rights, female empowerment, and social change are. As in other countries, during the past few decades Brazilian women have revolted against patriarchy by raising their voices and creating social impact. This qualitative study, using secondary research, identifies Marielle Franco, Zilda Arns, Maria da Penha, Marta Vieira da Silva, and Dilma Rousseff as five empowered Brazilian women. Most came from humble origins - families that were examples of charity and struggled for rights, but all obtained degrees either in higher education or in their specialization. However, their origins did not determine social action. The driving force was their suffering from discrimination, specifically because they were women and, furthermore, because they occupied places that were previously reserved for white men. Almost all were persecuted, while others also suffered discrimination because of their skin color and ethnicity. Even so, being wives and mothers, all were excellent professionals, searching for success and achieving progress in their dedicated areas by creating social changes, especially in human rights for children and women. Those who are still alive continue the battle against the entrenched patriarchy in a predominantly macho society as they continue their strife for more progress. Finally, those committed to building an evolved, modern, inclusive, and respectful Brazilian society perceive the macho practices that prevail as inadequate and detrimental to women. As more and more women carry on in the fight for human rights, society will evolve. Keywords: Brazilian women, human rights, discrimination, women’s rights

Abstract:
There is a gender gap observed in access, ownership and control of land and other productive resources which is not in favor of women in Nigeria. While most studies on access to land resource have related it to food security, this study however examined its implications for the empowerment of women in the study area. Multistage sampling technique was used to obtain a sample of 120 households from the population. Questionnaires were used to elicit information from the sample, and its administration was interactive. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to examine the relationship between women's empowerment and access, control, and ownership of land resource. The regression analysis showed that land ownership, rights to land, and decision-making power over land had significant effects on the empowerment status. The study recommends that laws that will ensure and protect women's access and rights to land should be put in place and such laws should be properly monitored and evaluated.

Abstract:
Women empowerment (WEP) refers to the process of providing women with the necessary resources and opportunities to exercise their rights, participate in decision-making processes, and have control over their lives. Empowering women has become a significant issue globally, with many organizations and governments recognizing the importance of gender equality in sustainable development. The purpose of this research is to provide an overview of the concept of women's empowerment principles, its evolution, and its importance in achieving sustainable development goals. The WEPs provide companies with a holistic road map to address the challenges women face in the workplace and to promote gender equality across their value chains, in their community engagement. Launched in 2010 by UN Women and UN Global Compact, the WEPs are informed by international labour and human rights standards and grounded in the recognition that businesses have a stake in, and a responsibility for, gender equality and women’s empowerment. The seven Principles constitute a primary vehicle for corporate delivery on gender equality dimensions of the 2030 Agenda on Sustainable Development. The investigative object consists in analysis of usage of WEPs by different companies globally, the benefits obtained by women in the work place and best practices to be applied by other companies. Drawing inspiration from successful companies worldwide that have implemented the WEPs can provide valuable examples for businesses in Moldova to become signatories of WEPs as well. These companies serve as role models, showcasing the positive impact that can be achieved through the adoption of WEPs in diverse contexts. By examining the importance of WEPs and its applicability, this research aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the principles that can empower women economically and concludes with a reflection on the potential benefits of implementing these principles and their significant contribution to creating a more equitable society.

Abstract:
There is no doubt that the world today is more interested than ever in the discourse of human rights that sheds light on the covenants and legal charters that govern this domain. Besides that, women are the pivotal pillar of the society; consequently, they are the primary concern in the human rights discourse of different generations. Subsequently, their personal, cultural, political, financial and social rights are recognized; furthermore, their rights are strengthened by official charters . Despite the fact that no one can deny the positive aspects of the human rights discourse related to the role and the status of women in society by spreading human rights awareness and building a strong relationship between men and women based on human considerations; nevertheless, real life is another world, it is paradoxical, declarations and covenants advocate for women’s rights, at the same time women suffer from violence, disrespect, and discrimination. In the era of rights, cultural openness, technological revolution and economic development, women are threatened more than ever by other ways of violence that directly target the natural instinct and the moral values by spreading abnormalities such as homosexuality and gender reassignment. These acts can also be seen in official discourses and adopted by official organizations and governments profiting from the lack of the moral discourse that should be undertaken by the monotheistic religions especially the Islam. Moreover, the human rights discourse accuses the religious discourse of violating women’s rights and raises a number of suspicions around it. This leads us to question the credibility and the effectiveness of the human rights discourse? And to look for the alternatives that the Islamic discourse can offer in order to remove all the suspicions raised around it. These are questions that I try to answer through this article by elucidating the essence of the Islamic discourse that works for spreading values and also to reply on the suspicions that have been raised about the status of women in the Islam. I decided to follow these steps: Introduction: defining the problem and determining the outlines. First: Instinct is a guide to family values and drawing up the relationship between men and women. Second: Polygamy. Third: Guardianship and Alimony responsibility for the family. Fourth: Guardianship in the Islamic marriage contract. Fifth: Females decrease in religion and mind. Sixth: The male has the equal of the portion of two females. Conclusion.

Abstract:
The model of political empowerment in building women's awareness of their political rights has been carried out in various places, but the application of the model of women's political empowerment in the conflict areas has not yet been maximized. This is due to the tradition of political education among women in the conflict has not been implemented. Cultural faktor that do not involve women's participation in the political aspect continue to this day, at least in Aceh. This study is an academic response to a number of phenomena that limit the involvement of women in filling seats in the legislature, both in the Regency and Province. This qualitative based on 5 informants to find information about women's political participation through observation, interviews and participants. Based on the field study, it was found that 20 women who fail to be members of the legislature because do not understanding the political procedures in accordance with the regulations in the conflict area. No special academic participation has been found in empowering women's politics. Not yet found the participation of ulama in empowering women's politics in conflict areas, especially Aceh. According to the author's analysis, this is an important skill to increase women's political awareness in conflict areas. The results of this study can be used by all parties who are interested in increasing women's political participation in conflict areas.

Abstract:
The aim of promoting gender equality and women’s rights as integral parts of development efforts is enshrined in the key strategies and plans of many organizations. This is the case for the individual affiliates that comprise Oxfam International (OI), and the Oxfam confederation as a whole. This report sets out to assist Oxfam to better understand and learn from the Confederation’s work in this area to date. The purpose of the report is to provide an initial mapping of work on transformative leadership for women's rights (TLWR) in order to offer suggestions, impetus and a programmatic framework for the development of an ambitious global program on TLWR. It is intended to complement and drive Oxfam’s efforts to bring about the transformation of the pervasive gender inequality that limits women’s wellbeing, confidence and potential, reproduces negative masculinity traits, and contributes to the inequity dominant in contemporary societies.

Abstract:
This Rapid Evidence Review highlights how women's empowerment influences climate change mitigation and sustainable natural resource management. Key findings include: Political representation - Increased female participation in governance correlates with stricter climate policies and lower CO2 emissions; Social empowerment - Enhanced political status for women supports positive environmental outcomes such as reduced deforestation and emissions; Gender equality - Strong correlations exist between gender equality and lower CO2 emissions, along with better environmental performance overall; Education and resilience - Women's education is crucial in reducing vulnerability to natural disasters; Social protection programs and corporate leadership - These promote resilience and sustainable practices, especially when linked with environmental conditions; Sexual and reproductive health rights (SRHR) and land tenure - Both are effective in fostering environmental resilience and sustainable management. Water resource management: Women's involvement leads to more effective and sustainable water projects. The review also notes some limited evidence and emerging challenges in linking women's empowerment with broader environmental outcomes in areas like education's role in climate change, community management of natural resources, and green employment. The review emphasises the importance of integrating women's perspectives in environmental policies to harness these positive outcomes effectively.
