Ensuring gender equality and legal protection of women's rights: achievements, challenges, and prospects

The awareness of states that women's rights are an essential component of modern development leads to a new understanding of the content of women's rights, as well as the need for all states to ensure these rights to build a democratic society. It also leads to the definition of mechanisms for protecting women's rights. This paper examines the issue of gender equality. It is found that the institution of women's rights protection aims at implementing the principle that men and women should have equal rights in all spheres of life. The main goal of the study is to identify the most critical factors and measures that affect gender and contribute to gender inequality. These factors include health, social conditions, education, economic and labor participation, as well as political empowerment. The authors of the study applied the following methods: analysis and synthesis, comparative method, systemic method, structural and functional method, and generalization method. As a result of the research, a different approach to the issue of realization of women's rights was proposed: from the declaration of existing rights to their actual completion. Therefore, it is necessary to address both theoretical and practical aspects of women's rights protection. It is required to form a system of protection of women's rights based on the analysis of various components of gender equality. In a broad sense, gender equality is achieved when women and men enjoy equal rights and opportunities in all aspects of life, including social interaction, economic participation, and decision-making. Moreover, gender equality can be achieved when the different behaviors, aspirations, and needs of women and men are equally valued and protected.
