The human rights framework in practice

Since women constitute half the world’s population and are entitled to all human rights on an equal basis with men, this publication does not aim to cover every human rights issue which touches women’s lives. The focus here is on: public and political life, sexual and reproductive health and rights, the right to an adequate standard of living, violence against women, migration, conflict and crisis, and access to justice. Across all of these, education and the family context are particularly pertinent and are addressed throughout.
