Protecting All Women\u27s Rights in the Developing World

There are rising challenges to recognition and full protection of women\u27s rights in the developing world, especially in Latin America and besieged Islamic countries such as Afghanistan and Iran. Join us to explore the eroding recognition of women\u27s rights to equal citizenship and non-discrimination, including access to the rights to education, the right to work and just and fair conditions of work, social security and social protection, religious freedom, freedom of movement, the right to a nationality and rights to political participation, the right to own property, and equality before the law.
