ABSTRACT
Equalising "women" and "men" and eliminating all forms of discrimination against women are fundamental human rights and United Nations values. Women all over the world are routinely violated in their human rights throughout their lives, and recognising women's human rights has not always been a priority. A comprehensive understanding of the ways in which women experience discrimination and are denied equality is required in order to develop appropriate strategies to eliminate such discrimination. The United Nations has a long history of addressing women's human rights, and much progress has been made in recent decades in securing women's rights around the world. However, significant gaps remain, and women's realities are constantly changing, with new forms of discrimination against them appearing on a regular basis. Some women face additional forms of discrimination on the basis of their age, ethnicity, nationality, religion, health status, marital status, education, disability, and socioeconomic status, among other factors. When developing measures and responses to combat discrimination against women, these intersecting forms of discrimination must be considered.
