Abstract

It analyzes backs and forwards produced during the fight against women discrimination. After decades on Human Rights Declarations, pro equality between women and men conventions, and World conferences working to eliminate inequality, great achievements has been achieved, even thought, there is not any society in the World in which women have reached equality in all the field of their life. This goal will not be reach until local, national and International instruments force and punish those states in the world that does not fulfil the acquired commitment. As long as woman and men do not share equalityin both right and freedom in political, economical, social, cultural, religious or any other fields, we will not have a democratic and fair enough society inwhich human development can be reached.
