[ad_1]

ABSTRACT

Human rights are rights that have come to be guaranteed over time, to all men and

women, irrespective of race or creed. These rights extend to even the unborn, in

certain circumstances. However, in many societies, women are subject to

discriminatory tendencies in the form of laws, policies and practices that derogate

identify derogations from women’s rights, its effects and proffer suggestions on

how to curtail these gustative tendencies, with particular reference to Nigeria.
