This collection of Life Histories of Women Human Rights Defenders Volume 1 is a new addition to the Women Human Rights Defenders Campaign. 

Throughout history, women have been subjected to various forms of discrimination due to the existing patriarchal and feudal structures, which has been translated through social norms, traditional practices and codes and values. This led to attack on their mobility, control over their bodily integrity, subjected to threats, intimidations, and denial of right to access remedy.

The human rights situation of women and human rights defenders continues to be a major cause of concern, as they are still marginalized, non recognized, oppressed, abused, excluded and stigmatized on the basis of caste, class, sexual orientation, ethnicity, gender identity, ability and nature of work. Given the current marginalization of women’s issues, it is important to devote specific attention to women’s rights at each stage of the UPR process: before, during and after the review.
