2POLITICAL SCIENCEAs per my view, not every right is created equal in the eyes of the law. For the propersurvival within one’s society, people need the right to education, the right to vote, the right offreedom, the right to get a job, right to get a paid holiday and many other such rights. However,among all these rights, there are some that are of utmost importance.In this context, it must be noted that the social, economic and political situation is not thesame all over the world. Owing to these varying kinds of scenario, some rights are to be mademore important than the others. As per the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Article12 deals with the right to privacy (Un.org, 2018). This states that everyone will havecomplete freedom to live freely without any kind of interference from others within theirfamily, or over their choices (Donnelly & Whelan, 2017). They will also not face any kindattacks on their honor, dignity or their reputation. On the other hand, article 21 gives everyindividual the complete right to take part in any kind of Government activities eitherdirectly or indirectly (Marx & Wouters, 2017). It may seem apparent, that both these rightswhich are being stated in the above-mentioned articles are equally important and arefundamental in nature. However, the importance of these rights would differ greatly as per thelocation of the individuals. There are countries where women’s securities have become amajor challenge (Hakim, 2015). To a name a few, places like Pakistan, India, Somalia,Egypt and several other such places have been repeatedly highlighted with cases of womenbeing kidnapped, sexually harassed, murdered. So, in those places providing a completesecurity to these victims is definitely of much more important than giving them the right to vote.The Government must first provide them complete security and must recognize them as a properperson or a human being Article 6:Right to recognition as a person before the law) beforemaking them a part of the voting system (Un.org, 2018).
