Human Rights Advocacy on Gender Issues: Challenges and Opportunities

Word count: = 753 words

Minimum of 500 words

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

gender inequality suffered by women and discrimination against lesbian, gay,

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

are required and needed in society.

-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

girls with disabilities with enough access to socially protective programming to

assist them in preventing poverty or financial problems.

-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

penalty and criminalize them. Unfortunately, because of the notion of a paradigm of

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

concerns and to advocate for human rights up to the present day.


1.2. What are the three things about the reading that are unclear to you?

-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

intimidation or mistreatment of the assailants as though the same provision is required.

- 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

because of gender and race prejudices.


1.3. What are the three questions that you want to ask about the reading?

- Other than the way it will limits the right to food, water, housing, what are the

further impacts on gender disparity of climate change? Are the subjects to be

further studied and investigated?

- 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

how the failure to respond to their demand becomes Community terrorism?

- Finally, why in many countries do NGOs still have limitations on registration and

activity? Why do the opposing communities still weigh against the LGBTI?
