Women Rights

Every country liberated after World War II has included gender equality in their constitution, but the provision has largely remained on paper only. According to the Convention on Human Rights in Vienna in 1993, “Women’s rights are human rights”, is a commemorated pronouncement. The whole concept of women rights is dynamic, and as such has different meanings all around the world. The reason for the emancipation of women after World War II was their financial independence. While their men had been at work, women had taken to support themselves. A number of feminists in U.S worked for the inclusion of women in the workforce namely Betty Friedan and Anne Morrow. Also in U.S, Kennedy had established the Presidential order on the position of women. His view was that the whole body of America was needed for the Cold War initiation. Eventually women began to have equal rights in the sense that they were allowed to occupy the same positions that had previously only been filled by men. They were also allowed to smoke in public, wear pants instead of only the ‘feminine’ dresses.
Therefore, in contemporary times, women rights have gained a lot of importance because of various feminist movements.
