I think we need to get to the point where we look at people as individuals rather than just looking at you're a woman and so then you have all of these preconceived expectations about what we're able to do.
And the same thing can be said about men. Individuals can vote to stand up for equality. Individuals can not only educate themselves, but educate those around them.
Individuals, especially those who have privilege, can use their privilege to protect the oppressed. I think it needs to come down to realizing that we're the same people, just different genders. Between and , the ratio of girls in secondary school fell from 83 to 82 girls for every boys at the secondary level and from 67 to 63 girls for every boys at the tertiary level.
This is stalled progress and a reversion to the deep gender equalities that characterised previous eras. To address this gap, our efforts cannot be done in silos, but must involve the people girls in this case. Investments in adolescents and youth should be prioritized , with a focus on adolescent girls, including targets on school completion through at least secondary education and gender parity at all levels of education; universal access to comprehensive sexuality education for all young people, both in and out of school; youth-friendly sexual and reproductive health information and services; and decent work with decent wages.
Guarantee equality before the law and non-discrimination for all people in the exercise of their human rights and fundamental freedoms , across the range of social, cultural, economic, civil and political rights, including in accessing social benefits, health services, educational and employment opportunities, in forming a family, in fulfilling their right to self-expression, to seek and impart information, to freedom of organization and assembly, and to freedom from violence and harassment, regardless of sex, age, race, ethnicity, income, occupation, marital, HIV, disability or migrant status, sexual orientation and gender identity, or on any other grounds.
In relation to a stand-alone goal on gender equality and the human rights and empowerment of women and girls, and mainstreaming gender across the new development framework:. Enact and revise legislation and policies to protect the human rights of women and girls and revoke all discriminatory legislation to eliminate gender- and age-discriminatory provisions;.
Respect, protect and fulfill the sexual and reproductive health and rights of women and adolescent girls through legal, policy and regulatory provisions, including to prohibit violations of these rights, such as spousal and parental consent requirements; prohibitions on contraceptive methods; forced sterilization and forced abortion on any grounds, and mandatory testing for pregnancy or HIV;.
Enact and enforce legislation and adopt adequately-resourced national multi-sectoral plans of action and programmes to end gender-based violence, involving the police, housing, health, education, social service, labour and immigration sectors, including to address domestic and sexual violence, marital rape, trafficking, sexual harassment and traditional harmful practices; modify laws and practices that exonerate perpetrators from punishment such as for marrying the victim ; and eliminate sexual violence from amnesty provisions in post-conflict settings;.
Strengthen legal measures and community mobilization to end child, early and forced marriage and female genital mutilation;. Ensure the participation of women in conflict resolution, peace-building negotiations and post-conflict policy-making, and investments in gender equality and the integration of gender perspectives across national plans and programmes, including in humanitarian situations;.
An excellent summary of the Declaration, although not totally clear till towards the end that it was not legally binding on countries, but it very helpfully highlighted and provided examples of the relevance of v the various Articles contained in and the legal developments across the world because of it.
This course was very informative. I liked the interactive element that allowed you to reflect on how it relates to your own life. A thoroughly worthwhile course. I learnt some of the rights I did not Know and others I think my government is ignoring.
This course gave a new sight and grow me up to the level of Knowing step by step the meaning of being alive, nothing is more powerful than the Human Rights knowledge.
