Women's rights are a fundamental part of human rights and their recognition and protection are essential to achieve gender equality and the empowerment of all women and girls. Throughout history, women have faced various forms of discrimination and violence that have limited their access to opportunities and resources, and hindered their full participation in political, economic, social and cultural life. Gender equality is not only a human right, but also an indispensable condition for sustainable development and social justice.
Women's rights cover a wide range of areas, including equal opportunities in education and employment, protection from gender-based violence, access to appropriate health care, and equal participation in decision-making. These rights are recognized in numerous international instruments, such as the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW), which establishes the obligations of States to guarantee gender equality and protect the rights of women in all the spheres of life.
At the IHRCG, we work to eliminate all forms of discrimination and violence against women, promoting their full participation and empowerment in all areas. We support initiatives that seek to guarantee equal opportunities, protect reproductive and sexual rights, and provide access to justice for victims of gender violence. We believe that the empowerment of women is fundamental to creating just and equitable societies, and we are dedicated to promoting and defending their rights around the world. Our work includes carrying out awareness campaigns, developing educational programs and defending policies that promote gender equality and respect for women's rights.
Fundamental rights of women:
At IHRCG, we are strongly committed to promoting and protecting women's rights. We recognize that gender equality and women's empowerment are essential for social justice and sustainable development. We work to ensure that all women, regardless of their origin or situation, can enjoy their rights to equal opportunities, security, health and full participation in social, economic and political life. We strive to eliminate all forms of gender-based discrimination and violence and to promote an environment in which women can thrive and reach their full potential.
We are based on the principles established in the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW). We are guided by the values of equality, justice, dignity, respect and non-discrimination. We believe in the importance of women's autonomy and empowerment and in the need to ensure that their rights are protected and promoted in all areas of life. We value diversity and work to create a society where all women are respected and valued.
We defend and promote women's rights through a variety of approaches and strategies. We provide assistance and support to women who have been victims of gender-based violence, including legal support and protection services. We work to raise awareness in society about women's rights and to promote legislative changes and policies that guarantee gender equality. We carry out awareness and education campaigns to challenge and change the norms and attitudes that perpetuate discrimination and gender violence. We promote the active participation of women in decision-making and in all aspects of public and private life.
