Women’s Rights and Human Rights This paper seeks to investigate women’s rights on a global basis. I will review several articles‚ the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDW) and UN Resolution 1325 to try to discover commonalities and links to the repression of women and the ingredients for the fulfillment of women’s rights.
