This article explores the strides that have been made in the field of women's rights over the last few decades. Strengthening of the status of women on an international level has resulted in the gradual establishment of platforms for women to express their ideas and concerns. The widespread recognition of women's human rights has also resulted in the creation of mechanisms to address gender discrimination and violence. The article reviews various conferences and conventions that have strengthened the status of women over the last 50 years.
