HUMAN RIGHTS OF WOMEN AND CHILDREN: -AN INDIAN PERSPECTIVE

Monika Rathore

Human rights, woman, children, India

Human rights are those minimum rights which are compulsorily accessible by every individual. If today we look after the word “protection”, women and children come into picture immediately. Though women and children are believed to be the most delicate and pampered ones their rights are being encroached every day and protection of them comes naturally to balance the human rights scale. The constitution of India also guarantees the equality of rights of men and women. However, in the sphere of women’s human rights in India, there exists a wide gap between theory and practice. In our society is a male dominated society where men are always assumed to be superior to society. The India Women have to face to discrimination, injustice and dishonour. Despite the legal rights beings granted to them through various international covenants and Government of the country, exploitation against them is endemic. Women and children are being targeted in many ways such as domestic violence, trafficking, prostitution, rape, pornography, child marriage, child labour, child sexual abuse etc. Available legal, social, moral and governmental norms are analyzed in this paper to find out the possible ways by which these people’s human rights are infringed. The research paper also reflects on the different types of abuses, laws, policies and guidelines for the protection of these affected persons in India.
