Women's human rights from past to present

In this study, which is based on the awareness that women's rights are a part of universal human rights, national and international regulations that ensure women's access to civil, political, social and economic rights are analyzed in a multidimensional manner. In this respect, women's basic rights such as marriage, divorce, custody, inheritance, property, protection from violence, health, political participation, education and employment and their access to these rights are of utmost importance. In this context, it was concluded that the main obstacles to women's access to rights stem not only from the lack of legal infrastructure but also from cultural norms, religious practices, economic problems, inequality in access to education and patriarchal social structure. In the study, the issue of women's human rights in Türkiye and Iraq is discussed in a separate section. In addition to the legal regulation of women's human rights, the implementation process and cultural factors should also be evaluated. The protection of women's human rights is the basis not only of individual freedoms but also of social peace, sustainable development and democratic governance.
