*Gender Equality :*
*A Human Rights Perspective*
The last century saw a leap forward in the struggle for women's human
rights. In many countries women won the right to vote and take part in
government. Many women acquired economic independence and social status,
unthinkable a hundred years earlier. Several countries have adopted
constitutions or legislations banning discrimination on grounds of gender.
But still gender equality remains a cherished distant dream for women all
over the world. Hence the Centre for Women's Studies proposes to organise a
National Seminar on *Gender Equality :* *A Human Rights Perspective*.
The seminar is scheduled in the first week of March 2007. The seminar
is an endeavour to provide a platform for Academic and Research Staff
working in the field of Women's Studies and Human Rights to discuss relevant
and vital issues pertaining to Women's human rights and provide insights
into the related long term policies and solutions.
*Themes of the Seminar*
Cultural relativism and Women's Human Rights.
Women, Violence and Human Rights System.
Women's Human Rights Issues in Disaster Management, Displacement and
Water
Rights.
Women's Health and Human Rights.

Human Rights.
