    Equal Rights for Men and Women


    Read the following passages. What are they about?
    “And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, he slept and God took one of his ribs and closed up the
    flesh instead thereof. And the rib, which the Lord God had taken from man, made He a woman, and brought her unto
    the man.” —GENESIS 2:20–22
    “God did not create woman from man’s head that she should rule over him. God did not create woman from man’s
    feet, that she should be subservient to him. But God created woman from man’s side, that she should stand by his side
    in life, to support him and comfort him, that together they may bring their family to God.” —ST. AUGUSTINE
    UN General Assembly Resolution 2263
    The UN General Assembly Resolution 2263 or the Universal Declaration of Human Rights has the following
    important information every person should know.
    1. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights asserts the principle of nondiscrimination and proclaims that all human
    beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights and that everyone is entitled to all the rights and freedom without
    distinction as to sex.
    2. Women have the right to vote in elections and be eligible for election to all publicly-elected offices.
    3. Women shall have the same rights as men to acquire, change or retain their nationalities.
    4. Women have the right to acquire, administer, enjoy, dispose of and inherit property, including property acquired
    during marriage.
    5. Women shall have the same rights as men to free choice of a spouse, to enter into marriage only with their free and
    full consent. Women shall have equal rights as men during the marriage and its dissolution.
    6. All appropriate measures shall be taken to ensure girls and women, married or unmarried, have equal rights with
    men in education at all levels.
    7. All appropriate measures shall be taken to ensure women, married or unmarried, have equal rights as men with
    regard to economic and social life.

    Sexual Harassment
    Sexual harassment is defined as any conduct, remark, gesture or contact of a sexual nature that is objectionable or
    offensive to the victim. Central to the issue of sexual harassment are power and control. Sexual harassment, contrary
    to popular belief, has less to do with sex than with the satisfaction of being able to dominate the victim. It is a concrete
    manifestation of the unequal relations between men and women in society. It perpetuates this inequality by denying
    women the right to be free from actions and/or behaviors degrading or assaulting their personhood. Victims of sexual
    harassment suffer shock, guilt, fear, humiliation and social isolation.
