Summary/Abstract: The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, adopted by the General Assembly of United Nations Organization in 1948, was considered the most important international document for promoting human rights. This process was continued in a very sustained form throughout the Worldwide Conferences of United Nations Organization regarding women rights, events which underline the importance of promoting international cooperation for removing the violence against women in private life and all types of abuse. After analysing the data about this theme, we can say that these actions put a special emphasize on removing the stereotypes and the gender differences, as well as on stopping the violence against women, because of different cultural or religious reasons. The way to progress is very difficult because there are many geographical areas where traditions and religious extremism are very often appealed to in order to justify the use of violence against women.
