If men and women are equal, why do we need women’s rights?

Yes, human rights are universal. Women are human beings as much as men. Equality and equity between the genders is a fundamental human right guaranteed by international law.

However, the rights of women around the world are routinely violated. Women face discrimination, oppression, and violence daily–including harassment, sexual and domestic abuse, lower pay, and restricted access to education and opportunity.
