1WOMEN’S RIGHTS
The plight of the women gender has been in focus ever since the inception of the human

The need for women rights is felt in its entirety in the modern contemporary world. The
female gender has been able to find their voice and protest against the age old persistent violation
of their rights that has been done against them (Kaplan 2016). In this respect, the feminist
