Women's Rights Are Human Rights

Women's Rights Are Human Rights: International Posters on Gender-Based Inequality, Violence and Discrimination

A collection of tear-out posters celebrating women's rights and condemning gender inequalities.

Gender inequalities remain deeply entrenched in every society. Across the globe, women still lack access to decent work and face occupational segregation and gender wage disparities. Women are often denied access to basic education and health care, suffer from violence and discrimination, and are under-represented in political and economic decision-making processes.

This book features a collection of tear-out posters, designed by both men and women, to celebrate and acknowledge the vital role that all citizens should play in protecting and promoting human rights while actively challenging gender inequality and stereotypes, advancing sexual and reproductive rights, and protecting women and girls against brutality. In their collective visual voice, these posters promote women's empowerment and participation in society while challenging religious and cultural norms and patriarchal attitudes that subordinate, stigmatize or restrict women from achieving their fullest potential.
