The exclusion of women is at the heart of the modern political order, despite the gradual recognition of formal equality between men and women in the exercise of political rights. The evolution of the political culture has nevertheless allowed the gradual access of women to power. Yet in the case of Madagascar, gender consideration is not limited to the integration of women in power, but several challenges lie ahead for the country in terms of women's rights. Women parliamentarians through their roles can advocate for women's rights. But the question is how these women parliamentarians advocate for women’s development rights do?Women's development requires respect for their rights, and women parliamentarians, when designing and passing laws, have the opportunity to fight for women's rights, which generally boil down to the right to health, safety and work. The aim is therefore to highlight the capacity of women parliamentarians to establish a rule of law that allows women to develop. Women's participation in the proposals and discussions of laws can play an equal part in promoting women's rights and women's development.

the present time, the law is still considered discriminatory and not gender-just. Whereas the law should not regard gender to guarantee the fulfillment of women's rights. Women's rights are still not protected. Equality and elimination of discrimination against women are often the center of attention and a shared commitment to implement them. However, in social life, the achievement of equality of women's dignity still has not shown significant progress. So, if there is discrimination against women, it is a violation of women's rights. Women's rights violations occur because of many things, including the result of the legal system, where women become victims of the system. Many women's rights to work still have a lot of conflict about the role of women in the public sector. Today, discrimination against women is still very visible in the world of work. There are so many women who do not get the right to work. This research found that the structure of the company, rarely do we see women who get a place as a leader, in addition to the acceptance of female workers companies put many terms, such as looking attractive, not married, must stay in dormitory and so forth. Their salaries are sometimes different from male workers. Like male workers, women workers also have equal opportunities in the world of work. While there are many legislations governing the rights of women workers, it seems that many companies deliberately do not socialize it and even ignore the legislation just like that.

Abstract This article analyzes women’s contemporary use of rights to mobilize and pursue claims for gender equality and gender justice in the United Kingdom. Empirically, the paper explores the growth of rights discourse and activity against the backdrop of a stronger constitutionalization of women’s rights at national, European, and international levels. It does this through an exploration of individual and collective lobbying and litigation strategies in relation to violence against women. The paper first examines this in the context of the right to bodily integrity through examples of the ways in which sexual violence and domestic abuse are addressed within the criminal justice system. The paper then addresses the right to be free from violence for women seeking refuge and asylum. The research reveals the need for varied strategies that target all aspects of the legal and political systems in order to ameliorate the protection and implementation of women’s rights.

Provisions for the execution of the madliyah livelihood conditions in statutory regulations, especially in the provisions of Article 70 of Law Number 7 of 1989 concerning the Religion Courts as amended by Law Number 3 of 2006 and Law Number 50 of 2009, directly result in a lack of certainty. The law on the right to maintain madliyah livelihood also has direct implications for the trust of society, especially women, in the Religion Courts which should be able to defend women's rights and serve as a bridge to resolve issues of rights that should be obtained, namely madliyah livelihood after divorce. The execution of the wife's madliyah livelihood has implications for the judge's decision, namely: first, the judge does not have a legal basis regarding how the procedure for carrying out the execution that should be carried out for the process of executing the madliyah livelihood. Second, there is no complete regulation up to the implementation of decisions in regulating the rights to support the wife and children - one of which is the madliyah livelihood. Efforts to be able to provide legal certainty for executions at the Religion Courts can be done by completing regulations and building mechanisms.

Tujuan dari penulisan artikel ini adalah untuk memberikan penjelasan terkait bentuk-bentuk perlindungan hukum hak-hak pekerja perempuan pasca revisi Undang-Undang Nomor 13 Tahun 2003 Tentang Ketenagakerjaan dalam Undang-Undang Nomor 11 Tahun 2020 Tentang Cipta Kerja. Adapun fenomena yang ada pasca pengesahan Rancangan Undang-Undang tentang Cipta Kerja oleh Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat pada tanggal 05 Oktober 2020 adalah terdapat berbagai penolakan masyarakat terhadap Omnibus Law tersebut. Salah satu alasan penolakan masyarakat yang mendorong aksi demokrasi di berbagai daerah di Indonesia. Adapun salah satu persoalan yang menjadi isu yang ditolak oleh masyarakat melalui demonstrasi tersebut adalah penghapusan hak-hak perempuan. Jenis Penelitian yang digunakan dalam menulis artikel ini adalah jenis penelitian hukum normatif. Melalui kajian normatif, Peneliti bermaksud untuk melakukan kajian perlindungan hukum bagi hak-hak pekerja perempuan pasca revisi undang-undang ketenagakerjaan dalam pengesahan Rancangan Undang-Undang Cipta Kerja. Sebagai hasil kajian, peneliti menemukan bahwa hak-hak yang menjadi obyek demonstrasi masyarakat tidak seluruhnya benar. Adapun penyebaran informasi-informasi tidak tepat secara massif dan terstruktur menyebabkan pemahaman yang keliru di masyarakat. Sehingga terjadi demonstrasi penolakan terhadap Omnibus Law yang salah satu pembahasannya adalah perlindungan pekerja perempuan dalam Klaster Ketenagakerjaan. Meskipun penegasan penegakan hak-hak perempuan seharusnya ditegaskan kembali dalam revisi undang-undang tersebut, seperti keharusan pemberian hak-hak pekerja perempuan pada Usaha Kecil dan Mikro yang cukup sering terabaikan.   The purpose of writing this article is to provide a related explanation of forms of legal protection for women workers after revision of Law Number 13 Year 2003 Concerning Employment in Law Number 11 Year 2020 About Job Creation. As for the existing phenomena after the ratification of the Draft Law on Job Creation by the government on October 5, 2020, there have been various public objections to the omnibus law. One of the reasons for the community’s refusal to encourage democratic action in the various region in Indonesia. One of the issues that became an issue that was rejected by the community through the demonstration was the elimination of women’s rights. The type of research used in writing this article is a type of normative legal research. Though a normative study, the researcher intends to conduct a study of legal protection for the rights of women workers after the revision of the labor law in the ratification of the Work Creation Regulation. As a result of the study, the researcher found that the rights that were the object of community demonstration were not entirely correct. Meanwhile, the massive and structured dissemination of inaccurate information has lead to a misunderstanding in society. So there was a demonstration against the omnibus law, one of which was discussed was the protection of women workers in the employment cluster. Although the affirmation of women’s rights should be reaffirmed in the revision of the law, such as the necessity of grant the right of women workers at Small and Micro Enterprises which is quite often neglected.

General Indicator

Women’s access to and enjoyment of human rights are increasingly being used as a global measure of other “goods” in societies: for instance as a measure of development, a gauge of the health and depth of democracy and as a general indicator of a state commitment and adherence to international responsibilities. Therefore, while the study of women’s relationship to human rights is of considerable importance and interest in itself it is also gaining prominence across a range of other areas of international and domestic law. This might be viewed as a positive indication of the growing strength of women’s human rights norms but it bears closer analysis. Also within this discourse on women’s rights what rights norms are being globalised and how is this occurring? This paper considers how supposedly universalist rhetorics around equality rights can advance ‘orientalist’ and patriarchal discourses in relation to who “women” are and how their rights may be realised. Such discourses may hinder implementation of women’s rights especially for women who are “other.” This is particularly evident in relation to women’s rights to freedom of expression, the manifestation of religious freedom and rights to participate in culture. To illustrate this specific focus is given to the increasing discrimination against Muslim women and to human rights responses in this context within Europe.

The Right

The UN General Assembly adopted the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) in 2007, marking the culmination of thorough negotiations, lobbying and advocacy involving indigenous peoples’ representatives as key actors. Among other rights, the UNDRIP affirms the right to self-determination for indigenous peoples. Also referred to as the right to self-determined development, the right to self-determination, as stated in the UNDRIP, encompasses indigenous communities’ rights to determine their development trajectories. To indigenous peoples, the significance of the right to self-determination includes the promotion of cultural distinctiveness, which is central to their survival as communities. However, women’s rights scholars and activists are sceptical about the emancipatory potential of realising the right to self-determination for indigenous women. In contrast, exercising this right might also entail the perpetuation of gender-based violence and other forms of discrimination, thus heightening women’s fragility and subordination among indigenous communities and beyond. Using UNDRIP and other relevant international and regional human-rights instruments as vantage points, this paper seeks to juxtapose the implementation of the right to self-determination and the realisation of indigenous women’s rights in Tanzania. The article posits that the protection of indigenous women’s rights should form the central pillar of the enjoyment of the right to self-determination. This is because the cultural survival, vitality and continuity of indigenous peoples’ distinctiveness largely hinges on respect for the rights of indigenous women.
