NGOs and first- and second-generation rights for women  

Definition

  • A number of United Nations conventions and declarations have been convened and issued to hold states accountable for advancing women's rights. Over 30,000 nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) aid the United Nations in implementing its three generations of rights—civil, social, and development—and monitoring states' compliance with international women's human rights agreements.
