Annotated Bibliography On Human Rights

For this paper, I watched a video on C-Span on women’s right call Women’s Right are Human Rights”The subject matter was how important was empowering women, and such women’s right as reproductive rights, equal pay, and equal representation. The significance of the forum with Rep. LLeana Rose- Lehtinen was that we need to promote the rights of women because women have been subjective to harassment, discrimination and denial of equal rights.

The video is like a propaganda filmed by a non-profit organization discussing about CCHR (Citizens Commission on Human Rights). The Psychiatrists used their trusts from people to make false diagnosis in order to get more money from the patients, labeling everyone with illness and drug people that may danger their health. The origination interviewed a couple of well-known psychiatrists, even though by participating in this video may question their credibility. The video provides a lot of big numbers, but some facts are not credible at all and they didn’t tell us where the information is from. The video is somehow bias by only showing patients and patients’ families with tears and telling people how much they have suffered

The event I decided to go to for this response memo was Cecilia Santos talk about her research in Brazil. She raised the two main questions about what counts as women human rights and how do Brazilian Feminist and Black Women 's NGOs mobilize international human rights law? Her main goal was for us to understand human right in different areas. In the beginning of her talk she emphasized how authorities are the ones who declare what is fair and what is justice. With this idea she wanted us to ask who becomes the subject of these rights. Finally she wanted us to also ask ourselves who really has the power in these situations.

“Women’s rights are human rights, and human rights are women’s rights.” On September 5, 1995, 180 countries met in Beijing, China for the U.N. Fourth World Conference on Women Plenary Session listening to Hillary Clinton’s speech on women’s rights. (Clinton, 1995) Clinton spoke powerfully and bravely, in a communist country with a widespread maltreatment of women. The speech addressed governments and humans rights organizations, addressing problems that every country faced concerning the freedom of women. She united the audience in connecting the topic on an international level, and spoke urgently, using ethos, pathos, and logos. Beginning the speech, she is very gracious, which portrays her likability. This was a very influential, as it was one of the first well received speeches of its time given in this communist country trying to give a voice to women.

Hillary Rodham Clinton gave the speech fondly known as, “women's rights are humans rights” more correctly known as, “Remarks to the U.N 4 th world conference on women's plenary session”. The speech was delivered on September 5 1995 in Beijing China. The historical value of the speech is highly important as for millennia women have been oppressed and put in distress. The purpose of the speech is to clarify and spread the harm that the issue can inflict on many women of different ethnicities and backgrounds.

Although many places in the world have made many advancements in granting women rights equivalent to those of men, there are still far too many places that refuse to recognize that women’s rights is still an issue, and an important one at that. Many developing countries in the world have caused outrage in the population of women as a whole and rifts in society and its social order. Worldwide, people are done with the fact that women are still not treated as equals. Although advancements have been made for the population of women globally in places like the US, Canada, and many parts of Europe; many developing countries throughout the world have refrained from allowing women equal opportunity politically, economically, and culturally.

Most of the issues in Jaggar’s article stem from the style of her writing rather than the actual content in the article. Although she does contradict herself a few times, which will be discussed later in the paper, for the most part she does back up each of her claims with enough evidence. She does clearly state her four driving theses in her article. They are as follows: the first, “injustice by culture” the second, “autonomy of culture,” the

In the past, women didn’t have as many rights as men. They were seen as men’s possessions who were only allowed to cook, clean, and make babies. Women weren’t allowed as many privileges as men- such as voting. But as the years went by, changes were made. Women were granted many of the same privileges as men, but they were still being mistreated in some perspectives. On September 5, 1995 in Beijing, China, Hillary Clinton delivered a speech about this issue at the United Nations Fourth World Conference for Women in front of 180 countries. Her speech was called “Women’s Rights are Human Rights”. She gave this speech to express her concern over the mistreatment women have been facing. Clinton directed her speech to governments and other organizations to argue why they need to help improve women’s rights. Clinton uses ethos, pathos, and logos to persuade her audience that women should be treated equally.

Women's rights are history and our future, from The Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) group in 1975 to Michelle Obama and newer leaders today, the changes almost endless. Now women are not just fighting feminist’s rights, women are assisting in international affairs in all sorts of world problems. Solo influences like Emma Watson, First Lady Michelle Obama and Angela Merkel have represented themselves in various address to the government, foreign and international boards, like the president's cabinet, the UN and ambassadors teams.

Human rights have been a concern for many decades. There is so much beautiful and grotesque history around it. Ever since the rise of Martin Luther King Jr. human rights in America have been palatable. But years after his death human rights in America are becoming endangered. The threat maybe our 45th president Donald J. Trump.

Not only has it taken several years for human rights to be a legitimate international concern throughout the world, it is yet to be settled. They are still under development and require a range of actions before human rights are fully enforced. But what are human rights? Human rights could be defined in various number of statements. It could be people gifted with a set of rights and protections because they are human. Or simply, a right which belongs to every individual. With a number of major treaties governing the issue of human rights you would think that these rights would be already established, sadly there is still much more to be done before there is a universal set of human rights, governing and ensuring the equal treatment of every individual. After addressing numerous issues and injustices, and the events of the Second World War and the Holocaust, we begin to see a movement. This point created a permanent place for human rights on international agendas. and the human rights regime had began to push forward. Despite this movement forward there are still a vast range of barriers creating a hurdle for the achievement of universal human rights. These barriers can be broken into three categories, Cultural objectives, Religious objectives, and Economic objectives. Firstly, we shall dive into cultural objectives and the barriers they create from human rights being recognised as truly universal. Secondly, there are various religious objectives which create lesser number of

In history, women have faced many obstacles and challenges in regards to equality and finding respect. As time progresses, women were able to obtain rights such as voting rights, owning property, education and et cetra. These rights would not be obtained without movements from individuals and organizations that decided to take action on fighting on these issues. With these movements, women have been able to advance themselves in their community, this allowed women to feel empowered and determined to change the world. Even with society progressing to allow women to have the basic rights in society, there are many individuals in powerful political roles that have openly shared their views negatively on women’s rights issues

Women form half of the human beings inhabiting planet Earth. Since human rights are the rights of all human beings, male and female alike, human rights are women's rights. By the same token, a society in which men are not willing to extend human rights to their mothers, the women who bore and nurtured them; their daughters, products of their own loins; and their wives, the women who bear and raise their treasured sons, is a society in which men are unwilling to extend human rights to men of another family, tribe, language, religion, race, ethnic tradition, or nation. If a society does not hold justice and equality for all women in the highest regard, neither will it hold justice and equality for the many varieties of
