This paper examines the applicability and relevance of status of women human rights and their developmentby improving their position who are experiencing violations of their rights to seek redress for alleged violations, calling for treatment of womens issuesby improving their status and assisting in their sustainable development, growth, and the accomplishment of all the millennium development goals. Women often face discrimination and gender inequalities because of factors such as race, sex, language, or religion. The economic, social, political, and environmental participation and empowerment are fundamental to strengthen their rights and allowing them to have control over their lives and exert influence in society generating just and equitable societies. The researcher concluded that unless women are empowered and gender equality is achieved, the nation will not achieve sustainable development with the recognition of only mens participation in all potential areas. Hence, this paper calls for the strong onus on the government to empower women and addressing gender-based discrimination and providing specific protections for womens rights to attain secure and sustainable livelihoods after all, human rights are about ensuring dignity, equality, and security for all human beings.
