Human Rights Advocacy On Gender Issues: Challenges and Opportunities
Human Rights Advocacy On Gender Issues: Challenges and Opportunities
1.1. What the three things that you significantly learned from the reading?
-Before the essay, I used to believe that authorities, governmental and non-
governmental organizations, were not taking into consideration the conflicts over
bisexual, transgender, and intersex (LGBTI) people. After reading this article, I
know that as part of its goals of protecting the human rights of the oppressed, there
are organizations such as the human rights community. The European human
rights system and people involved in the UN have raised the question and impose
procedures to make it better for women and the LGBTI community. Moreover, both
international and regional human rights organizations called for women's inclusion,
taking account of the proposals and views of women for the structural changes that
-I used to think that I had never thought about those who suffer prejudice both
because of their sex and because of their handicap until reading the essay. Gender
and disability face different dangers of assault, neglect, abuse, and abuse.
Following reading the essay, I am now aware of more particular units in our society
that relate to persons whose sex and disability are discriminated against. I am also
aware of conventions like the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and the advocacy
and care of pregnant women and older women with a disability by the Economic
and Social Council. At the same time, they also safeguard the freedom of these
women from possible abuse, violence, and exploitation and provide women and
-I once thought that new knowledge and communication through technology has
helped to spread information fast by enabling a more fair society to get into same-
sex marriages or relationships before reading the essay. After reading the essay, I
believe that 77 nations and seven states still punish them for employing the death
human rights legislation, the implied human rights abuse is still tolerated by strong
militias and global companies, which also makes it essential to raise gender
-The section on "Optional Protocol to the Economic, Social and Cultural Rights Pact" also
unclearly implied another notion. The aim and communities engaged are scarcely
understood. All I had learned was how a board is in place to receive and hear complaints
and try to settle each complaint properly to establish a climate of economic, social, and
cultural justice for those victims who suffer abuse. What most baffles me is how a
declaration has been made concerning a specific procedure that there will be no
- The principles which I have not seen clearly are included in the 'Recent Treaty Body Law
on Gender Issues.' The discussion in gender problems via the jurisprudence of the treaty
body appears relatively unknown because it comprises jargon beyond my grasp. I only
partially understand how one committee wishes, by analyzing and investigating many
cases that have happened to break the law and having a particular legal framework to
protect women who have happened to experience and have been wet through domestic
abuse, to eliminate discrimination against women and discuss several cases.
- Finally, the idea I am not quite sure of the "list" method that emerged in the abstract. In
the international and regional human rights agencies, I do not see how progress is
required. It is said that I don't completely grasp what it meant for women in the 'list'
method and the notion of comparing racial and gender discrimination in the Commission
Eliminating Racial Discrimination (CERD). I am sure that women are at risk of rape
- Other than the way it will limits the right to food, water, housing, what are the
- I would want to ask another issue about the paradigm of non-state actors and
human rights legislation, how do they deal with gender rights for outside states and
- Finally, why in many countries do NGOs still have limitations on registration and
activity? Why do the opposing communities still weigh against the LGBTI?
