EqualityThe centrality of gender equality, women’s empowerment and the realization of women’s rights in achieving social justice has been increasingly recognized in recent decades. This recognition is evident in a number of international norms and agreements. Despite the fact that there are international laws which protect women’s right to education, in many countries, girls are not allowed to attend the school. Violence, conflicts, early marriage, traditional attitudes and extreme poverty are the most in common problems that keep away young women from education. In fact, women represent the two thirds of the world’s 775 million illiterates. Although, even if we are talking about the situation in developed countries, women still face remarkable challenges and obstacles when they decide to follow an academic career.

Children Rights, Δικαιώματα ΠαιδιούTo begin with...

Child is any human being under the age of 18 years old, unless he/she becomes an adult by law, under certain circumstances (Convention on the Rights of the Child), (https://www.humanium.org/en/convention). Even though there are no different definitions for the other terms used to describe youth in the international law, the movement for the children rights is consider distinct from the youth rights movement. The field of children’s rights is expanding on moral, politics, religion and law.
