THE STRUGGLE FOR WOMEN'S RIGHTS IN THE SYSTEM OF UNIVERSAL HUMAN RIGHTS

Summary/Abstract: The concept of human rights is a concept that is older than the concept of gender. When we talk about human rights, we are talking about rights that are considered indivisible and inalienable rights of every human being. People differ from each other in some of their properties, characteristics, skin color, gender, nationality, ethnicity, age, religion, marital status, social affiliation, sexual orientation, etc. The Charter of the United Nations from 1945 is based on this, which states in its first article that "one of the basic goals of the establishment of the UN is to encourage respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms for all, without distinction, with regard to race, sex, language or faith." (Chapter I, Article 1.). However, the struggle of women for their human rights throughout the history of mankind points to the fact that the concept of human rights does not apply to women's rights, we can see this through the multitude of conventions, declarations and resolutions on women's rights. In this paper, the author will present a brief historical overview of the development of gender policies, legal frameworks and mechanisms for gender equality, which were contributed on a global level by various documents, conventions, declarations and resolutions adopted at the national and supranational levels, and point out the importance of emancipation, education and socialization of women in today's society.
