Human rights promote the elimination of negative stereotypes, injustices, marginalization, and discrimination that has been overburdened on other individuals due to societal prejudices. The existence of human rights influences the relationships between citizens and the government power exercise over its citizens (Donnelly and Whelan 2017).Nonetheless; human rights are limited as States have an obligation of providing some rights while at the same time safeguardingcitizen’s freedom.

For instance, the right to education has created awareness among women thus leading to economic, social and political empowerment (Deere and De Leal 2014). Right to health has prompted women access to information on contraception, protected women from environmental hazards and allowed them general access to health services.
