What are the steps taken by UN in protecting the rights of women
Answers
Answer:
International human rights treaties prohibit discrimination on the basis of gender and also require States to ensure the protection and realization of women's rights in all areas – from property ownership and freedom from violence, to equal access to education and participation in government.
In 1967, United Nations Member States adopted the Declaration on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women, which states that discrimination against women is an offence against human dignity and calls on States to “abolish existing laws, customs, regulations and practices which are discriminatory against women, .UNAMA's work on women, peace and security is enshrined in UN Security Council resolution 2210 (2015) which reinforces the Mission's imperative to promote gender equality including increasing women's role in public life and Afghan society.
