Social Studies Dictionary - Women's Rights
Definition and meaning of Women's Rights Women's Rights Women's rights are economic, social, legal, and political rights for women equal to those granted men. Beginning in the 1840s many women sought equal representation through suffrage (the right to vote). The 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution protected this right. The amendment was first presented to Congress in 1878 and ratified in 1920. Women remained subject to discrimination and in 1923 women's rights leaders submitted the Equal Rights Amendment to Congress. The ERA strove to prevent unfair treatment on the basis of gender. In the early 1970s, activists renewed efforts to pass the ERA in an attempt to strengthen protection for women as workers and as property holders. Three-fourths of the state legislatures never approved the amendment. When the time limit for consideration expired in 1982, 35 states had ratified the ERA, three short of the number required. Regardless, some states adopted more equal measures in their state constitutions to protect property rights, and women gained greater employment opportunities.

| | |  Women's rights: Baha'i Perspective On Gender
DivideBaha'i Perspective On Gender Divide Nearly 121 million children around the world receive little or no schooling, and the majority of these children are girls. Why is the gender divide so deep? What is holding us back from pursuing a policy of enlightened self-interest? The Baha'i international community has long recognised the importance of educating girls because as future mothers, they would be better equipped to encourage Generation X - of either gender - to go to school. Nearly 90 years ago, Abdu'l-Baha said: "The education of women is of greater importance than the education of men, for they are the mothers of the race, and mothers play an important role in rearing children. So, they must be capably trained in order to educate both sons and daughters". Read more here: » Women Rights: Baha'i Perspective On Gender

Women make up half the members of the NCRI. A third of the Resistance's military arm, the National Liberation Army of Iran, and two-thirds of its commanders are women.

Rajavi's election gave Iran's oppressed society and Iranians living abroad, especially women, new hopes for a better future. Delegations from the four-million-strong Iranian exile community, among them Iranian profess ...

| | | | Women's rights: Encyclopedia II - Women in Islam - Right to work Islam does not prohibit women from working, though, it does emphasize the primary duty, applied to both parents, is of caring for the family and the household.
Many Muslims believe that a woman should work only if she can work without defying Islamic teachings. Often, this means that she must not do work that offends her modesty (Hijab) and chastity. In many interpretations it also means she must not work ...

| | | | Women's rights: Encyclopedia II - Women in Hinduism - Property rights Arthashastra and Manusamhita are sources about the woman's right to property or ‘Stridhan’, (literally meaning, property of wife). It is of two types: maintenance (in money or land given by the husband), and anything else like ornaments given to her by her family, husband, in-laws and the friends of her husband. Manu further subdivides this into six types - the property given by parents at marriage, given by the parental family when she is going to her husband’s house, given by her husband out of affection (not maintenance which he is ...

| | | | Women's rights: Encyclopedia II - Women in Islam - Right to vote Until recently most Muslim nations (and indeed most nations) were non-democratic. Today a minority of Islamists view democracy as against Islam. This view is espoused by groups such as Al-Muhajiroun, whereas more mainstream Muslims disagree, and believe it to be an evolution of the Islamic concept of Shura.
Many Muslim nations today allow their citizens to have some level of voting and control over their local government; with a few exceptions in Arabia — Kuwait and Saudi Arabia; and Lebanon which requires proof of education for women to vote — all such nations allow women to vote.
In 2005 Kuwait passed ...

| | | | Women's rights: Encyclopedia II - Legal rights of women - Ancient Roman Law In Roman law a woman was even in historic times completely dependent. If married she and her property passed into the power of her husband; if unmarried she was (unless a vestal virgin) under the perpetual tutelage of her father during his life, and after his death of her agnates, that is, those of her kinsmen by blood or adoption who would have been under the power of the commoh ancestor had he lived. Failing agnates, the tutelage probably passed to the gens. The wife was the purchased property of her husband, and, like a slave, acquired on ...
