One of the many challenges facing world leaders today is protecting women’s rights and needs. There are many different countries that have been trying to improve women’s rights. For instance, in the USA, Canada, and Chile there has been a lot of progress in terms of removing the legal and social inequality for women. These improvements have gone unchallenged at state levels. Throughout the time, a number of articles and researches on women’s rights have been written. They mostly focus on the following topics: employment discrimination, political representation, violence against women and lack of access to education. Concerns about the global refugee crisis are a priority for the UN. One of the examples of this is that, when two commissions were created within the framework of UN human rights system in 1946, there was a commission on the status like woman who were created along with UN commission.
Literally not letting someone have certain rights because of their gender. This is a sexist and outdated way to maintain the domination of patriarchy. Women are all those who identify as such, including transgender women.
The World Bank believes that if women have equal opportunities to realize their full potential, the world will not only increase justice but also boost prosperity.
Only three-quarters of the world’s women have equal rights to those of men, limiting their ability to get a job or start a business. This gives them less control over their lives and decisions. “World Bank (WB) Report shows that after a decade of reforms women have made progress in both education and business due to their greater number of opportunities.”
“Despite the progress made, women still face many limitations on their legal rights which hinder their participation in the labor force. Over the past 10 years, there have been many changes to improve women and their role in the work life. Analysis of this time period shows a positive result but it is important that governments and economic institutions continue to be vigilant about continuing this trend,” the authors of the study wrote.
“If women had the same opportunities as men, not only would justice increase, but prosperity would too” -Kristalina Georgieva. “The situation is changing, but not fast enough. In [a number of countries] in everything worldwide, the law continues to deny 2.7 billion women the same job choice as men. Unlocking greater opportunities for women is important and this report aims to prove that reforms are possible and accelerate the pace of change.”
This index takes into account the crucial phases of a woman’s life, from entry to work to pension receipt. It also examines the legal protection associated with each phase. “The data covers a ten-year period during which 187 countries were assessed on eight indicators,” the authors of the report explained. “achieving gender equality takes effort and teamwork, but it is made easier by strong political will. There are a lot of different ways to start working towards equality, but remembering to include regulations in reform efforts can be important.”
The index is up since 10 years ago. This increase in numbers is due to improvements seen in the last 10 years. The global average has risen from 70% of the world’s population to 75%. 274 legal and regulatory reforms have been implemented in 131 countries around the world to increase women’s economic participation. In 2017, 35 countries passed laws preventing workplace sexual harassment. Such protections were extended to over 2 billion more women in 2017 than they were in 2010. Recenty, legislation has been passed in 22 countries to remove restrictions on who women can work with. 13 countries have also made it mandatory to pay everyone equally for their work.
According to the results of the study, six countries – Belgium, Denmark, Latvia, Luxembourg, France and Sweden – scored 100 points. This means that they provide men and women with equal legal rights in the areas under study. 10 years ago. Based on this index, we noticed that reforming countries experienced an increase in the total share of women in the workforce and that led to women’s economic empowerment.”
Saudi Arabia is in last place with 26.63 points.
It’s sad to know that women are still facing many inequalities in work-related areas. Women need to be treated equally and be given the same opportunities like their male counterparts. According to the findings of this report, 56 countries in all regions and of various levels of income – that’s not to mention one or two well-known companies in the Silicon Valley – “haven’t introduced any equally important reforms for women over a period of 10 years.” “Reforms have been slowest in property management, an area where gender differences in property rights are monitored.” The report emphasizes.
“This study provides a new way of looking at how statutory discrimination affects the employment and entrepreneurial activity of the fair sex, and how this in turn affects economic outcomes. For instance, if women are present in the labor market.” The World Bank has released a new index to “find a roadmap for the future” by identifying areas where more action could be taken in order to influence reforms that promote equality.
Issues that effect the international politics and women’s rights are talked about. The issue of gender equality is becoming increasingly important, with research suggesting that it could be detrimental to finance if nothing is done. Along with the legal aspects, other activities have been historically structured to facilitate the de facto equality of genders. Recent international legislation has created an effective system for the protection of women’s rights, however, gender inequality is still a major issue because of the historical patriarchal tradition. In modern society, it’s been intensifying the struggle for limited public resources.
