A contemporary analytical review of the implementation of women's rights in the context of a comparative study of the Semitic religions and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights

Abstract

All human beings in this world are equally entitled to rights in terms of certain basic facilities and needs, which are known as basic human rights. Every human being has these rights regardless of color, race and gender. In this regard, there is no difference between men and women. All human beings have these rights regardless of culture, civilization, region and religion. The reality is that despite having rights, sometimes the weak fails to get these rights, mainly due to ignorance of these rights and the forcible usurpation of these rights by the powerful. In this regard, women have always been considered weak and oppressed. Sometimes they are denied even the basic rights of life. The purpose of this research paper is to analyze some of the fundamental rights given to women in Semitic religions—Judaism, Christianity, and Islam— in comparison with the modern Western perspective of human rights, especially the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. This research explores whether the Universal Declaration of Human Rights plays a clear role in the substantial increase and implementation of the rights given to women in Semitic religions or not.  Furthermore, the study highlights that the Islam grants women a dignified, empowered, and balanced role in society, which aligns with both nature and social harmony. In contrast, the modern Western feminist discourse often challenges traditional and familial structures, promoting a form of individualism that may disconnect women from their natural and communal roles. This comparative analysis seeks to address whether modern feminism truly empowers women or redefines them into isolated individuals detached from their traditional essence.
