Abstract

Abstract Universal declaration of human rights adopted by general assembly recognizes the inherent dignity and equal human rights and fundamental freedom to all without any kind of discrimination such as caste, colour, race sex, religion, political, social, economic, birth or other status. Under human rights law the violation of human rights is a big abuse of human rights. Ensuring accountability for human rights violation is a core obligation of states. This principle has been continuously challenged in the case of women’s human rights. Some people justify violation of women’s human rights by placing precedence on cultural and traditional values. Cultural values rooted in unequal power relations between women and men become justification for the systematic denial of civil, cultural, economic, political and social rights. Global culture discriminates against women and denies them equal rights with men. Every year around the global an increasing number of women are reported killed in the name of “honour”.
