Chapter One (Introduction)

1.1 Background Information

Since the beginning of the 20th century when the international community came up with the law guiding human rights, various nations have also enacted specific bills to provide equal rights to their citizens. However, there are certain aspects which are common to all human rights across the globe. That is; they are inalienable, indivisible and inherent in every human being. Unfortunately, the well pronounced human rights as they may be understood have not guaranteed women in many countries equal rights to that of their men
