• W855491330 abstract "The rights of women have been widely advocated for in recent times worldwide. However, the questions that agitate the mind are: can the rights of women be realistic in a society that is patriarchal in character like Nigeria? To what extent can women exercise their human rights without constraint? Are women themselves on familiar terms with their rights? When their rights are abused what steps should be taken? What are the consequences for the inability of women to exercise their rights? What effect is this inability having on the dignity of women and development? These are some questions that readily come to mind and thus serving as motivating factors for exploring the above research work. Right is defined by Isiramen (2002) as power, privilege or immunity, guaranteed under a constitution, status or decisional laws or claimed as a respect for long usage. Furthermore, he opined that respect for rights is perceived as a matter of fair dealing in moral vocabulary. Right can be affirmed, requested or appeal for, the obligations that rights imposed are expected to be performed while nonperformance can lead to feeling of resentment, bittemess and dissatisfaction.Rights on the other hand can denote various meanings depending on the circumstances, we can say that rights is an act that is morally justified and correct, we can again say the right to speak, right to freedom, right to vote, right to education, right to have access to basic needs in society, right to acquire property and so many others. We can go further to define women's rights as rights that establish the same socio-economic, and political status for women as for men. Women rights guarantee that women will not face discrimination on the basis of their sex. Patriarchy on the other hand is a fundamental construction of domination whereby men have basic and concrete interests in controlling, using, subjugating and oppressing women (Ritzer, 1988).Having defined some concepts in relation to the topic, the next step is to make sense of the questions raised above while some will come to focus through interaction with respondents at the discussion. What are these rights of women and what impact do they have on the dignity of women in general and in Nigeria and Ekiti State in particular? Knowing the rights of women will enable us to discover if the dignity of women is respected within the stipulated frame of women's rights especially in the constitution of Nigeria. In the earlier period women in most societies were denied some of the cultural, legal, economic, education, social and political rights that are usually enjoyed by men. Even though women have gained significant legal rights today than before and the general conception is that women are partially inclusive in the cultural, political, economic, and social life of the society nevertheless, it has not earn women adequate level of equality with men. In other words, women's rights are being infringed upon in Nigerian society.In 1981, the United Nations reaffirmed its faith in the fundamental human rights, in the dignity and worth of the human person and in the equal rights of men and women. It is proclaimed in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights that human beings are free and equal in dignity and rights and that everyone is entitled to all the rights and freedoms set forth therein, without distinction of any kind, including distinction based on sex. It is further stated that discrimination against women violates the principles of equality of rights and respect for human dignity. It serves as an obstacle to the participation of women, on equal terms with men, in political, social, economic, and cultural life of their countries. There is no doubt Nigeria has embraced these fundamental human rights in its constitution. Hence this brings forth the discussion to considering Nigerian Constitution as regard to women rights. In the Nigerian constitution from 1999 it is stated in chapter 4 sections 33-45 that every Nigerian has the following fundamental rights: the right to life, to dignity of human person, the right to personal liberty, the right to freedom of speech, freedom from discrimination, the right against compulsory acquisition of property without compensation. …" @default.
