SECTION 1

WOMEN
RIGHT'S

Women's rights are entitlements and freedoms claimed for women and
girls of all ages in many societies.

In some places these rights are institutionalized or supported by
law, local custom, and behaviour, whereas in others they may be
ignored or suppressed. They differ from broader notions of human
rights through claims of an inherent historical and traditional
bias against the exercise of rights by women and girls in favour
of men and boys.

Issues commonly associated with notions of women's rights include,
though are not limited to, the right: to bodily integrity and
autonomy; to vote (suffrage); to hold public office; to work; to
fair wages or equal pay; to own property; to education; to serve
in the military or be conscripted; to enter into legal contracts;
and to have marital, parental and religious rights.

SECTION 2

WOMEN'S
SUFFRAGE

Women's suffrage or woman suffrage is the right of women to
vote and to run for office. The expression is also used for the
economic and political reform movement aimed at extending these
rights to women and without any restrictions or qualifications
such as property ownership, payment of tax, or marital status.

Women's suffrage has generally been recognized after political
campaigns to obtain it were waged. In many countries it was
granted before universal suffrage. Women’s suffrage is explicitly
stated as a right under the Convention on the Elimination of All
Forms of Discrimination Against Women, adopted by the United
Nations in 1979.
