While there has been much progress towards women's rights over the decades, many gaps remain.
Women's Rights
Women's rights is the fight for the idea that women should have equal rights with men. Over history, this has taken the form of gaining property rights, the women's suffrage or right of women to vote, reproductive rights, and the right to work for equal pay.

Women's Position On 2015 :
UN women advocates for a stand - alone goal in the post - 2015 development agenda to achieve gender equality, women's rights and women's empowerment , one that is grounded in human rights and tackles unequal power relations.
Along with the stand - alone goal, UN women is calling for integration of gender equality concerns throughout the other priority areas and goals of the post - 2015 development agenda, with clear targets and indicators.
For women's rights to become a universal reality, UN women believes that it is critical to address the structural causes of gender inequality, such as
* violence against women unpaid care work,
* limited control over assets and property, and
* push change forward in the three critical areas that are holding women back.
First, it should address violence against women. One in there women is likely to experience physical and sexual violence at same point in her lifetime.
The most pervasive human rights abuse in the world today,
Violence against women and girls is a manifestation of gender - based discrimination and a universal phenomenon which has tremendous costs for societies.
Second, the goal should include the need to expand women's choices and capability. Women and men need equal opportunities, resources and responsibilities. Equal access to land, credit, natural resources, education, health services (including sexual and reproductive health), decent work and equal pay needs to be address urgently. Policies, such as child care and parental leave as well as improved access to infrastructure (such as water and energy) are essential to reduce women's unpaid work so that everyone can enjoy equality at work and at home.
Third, the goal should address the need to ensure the women have a voice within households, and in public and private decision- making spheres.
For meaningful and inclusive democracy, women's voices should be heard in decision - making and in all spheres, such as public and private institutions, national and local Parliaments, media, civil society, in the management of firms, families and communities.
These elements are already included in existing international commitments.
The elaboration and substantiation of new- generation development goal on achieving gender equality, women's rights and women's empowerment should be based on existing norms and standards for gender equality such as the convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) and the Beijing platform for Action , as well as on outcomes of major conferences and resolutions of bodies such as the General Assembly and the Commission on the Status of women.
The post -2015 development agenda offers areal opportunity to drive lasting change for women's rights and equality , and to bring transformative changes in women's and men's lives.
We cannot afford to miss this opportunity.
