Equal Rights, Equal Opportunity

                      Discrimination towards women and girls, or what is known as gender-based discrimination, is one of the most pervasive human rights violation. It severely limits the ability  of women, girls and the communities they live in to protect and promote their  health.
                        Equal rights,the officially recognized equality of citizens before the state, the law, and the court; one of the fundamental elements of democracy. The constitutionalism guarantees of equal rights and extent to which equal rights are realized indicate the level of democracy in the society and state system.                   Equal opportunity  means taking positive steps to end discrimination, to prevent its recurrence, and to create new opportunities that were previously denied qualified minorities and women. 
                    Gender-based discrimination is irrevocably connected to negative health outcomes for women and girls. Its associated poor health outcomes are often compounded by other forms of inequality related to socioeconomic status, ethnicity, sexual orientation, religious affiliation or geographical location. While these challenges are imposing, and often encoded in "normalized" ways of living.
