Women's Human Rights: In the Context of Cinema
Dr. Rajshree P. More
Abstract
The text discusses the pervasive issue of human rights, with a particular focus on women's rights in
India. It emphasizes the equal opportunities and rights endowed by nature to all living beings but
highlights the exploitation and oppression against women by selfish individuals in society. Despite
the fight for rights and provisions in the Indian Constitution, the disappointment lingers as women
and children, considered the foundation and future of society, have to battle for their rights against
their own people. The abstract then delves into the historical context, noting the decline in the
status of women during the Mughal Sultanate and the subsequent efforts of reformers like Raja Ram Mohan Roy, Swami Vivekananda, and Swami Dayanand Saraswati.
The United Nations declaration of human rights in 1948 and the inclusion of provisions by the Indian
government are highlighted. The narrative shifts to the contemporary perspective, acknowledging
the positive changes brought about by human rights organizations, women's commissions, media,
and legal measures. The abstract references a book, "Women's Rights and Human Rights," praised
by Justice Rajendra for its detailed discussion on women's rights.
