Women and Child's Rights

Women and Child's Rights

Description

There are several reasons in Advocating for women and children’s rights for the sake of humanity. While the entire communities felt harmed in struggle, they bear the brunt of conflict. We want them protected and respected from all kinds of violence and aggression for they stand for the womb of humanity. We need the justice to be established because without respect of human rights, including protection of the women and children’s rights as well as gender’ rights- a just society is not a reality. Tolerance and non-discrimination is the key. Then, healthy, educated, and empowered women are better able to raise healthy, educated, and confident daughters and sons. By empowering women to overcome the effects of poverty and poor health, they can and will live full and productive lives- and so will their children, families, and communities. ”Investing in women and children’s rights is saving millions of people’s lives”.
