GENDER EQUALITY AND HUMAN RIGHT: FACE TO FACE WITH GLOBAL FUTURE

Abstract

The purpose of this work is to provide an overview of global future in relation to achieving gender equality, a core aspect of human right. Human rights are rights inherent to all human beings, regardless of race, sex, nationality, ethnicity, language, religion or any other status. These rights include the right to life and liberty, freedom from slavery and torture, freedom of opinion and expression, the right to work, education and many more. Gender equality is a fundamental human right. People often have their right violated because of their gender identity or sexual orientation. The United Nations Organizational human rights principle as enshrined upholds that man must enjoy universal and inalienable, independent, indivisible, equal and non-discriminatory rights. This work recommends for a high level of concern for equal right and dignity for both North and South divide. Using analytic method, this paper philosophically explores the thesis that “gender equality is a human right that must be promoted to usher in a peaceful world.”
