That is due to the unequal distribution of power in the world and the stereotype that people have from ages before, that women are weak and vulnerable. This gender-based violence, that feeds off discrimination (Violation against Women Information par2), can take many forms depending on the type of relationship between the victim and its perpetrator.

Human beings have so many differences, yet they share the same rights, which make them all equal. In fact, they eradicate all sorts of discrimination. Human rights are characterized by an interrelation and interdependence. Claiming and respecting them are the core of a human’s decent life, and are his or her hope for a better world. However, according to John Lennon, “We live in a world where we hide to make love, while violence is practiced on broad daylight.” By this quote, John Lennon means that we are surrounded by people who think that making love is a crime, but legalizes, on the other hand, the violation of our human rights.

Therefore, if a state chooses to intervene it must be the most severe form of intervention. However, as Locke stated, when one’s own preservation is in jeopardy, then it is not required. If the violation was one individual, it may not be prudent to start a war. Other means should be used. However, when genocide or any other form of mass murder is occurring, then there is little question that intervention ought to be chosen.

An infringement is a violation of human rights, for example by unlawfully depriving a person of their right to life through a summary execution. Interferences with human rights, if done properly, are perfectly lawful and in many cases required. For example, if a police officer shoots a terrorist dead, when the use of lethal force was absolutely necessary to protect the lives of others, this is perfectly lawful.

An issue unique to the violation of the rights of women is that these violations are sometimes not actually recognized as violations (Okin, 1998). Beyond the scope of the individual rights of women, there tends to be an under representation of women in the international political arena.
