Abstract
Abstract:“that country and that nation which did not respect women have never become great nor will ever in future”- Swami Vivekananda Every year the 10th December is celebrated as the ‘International Human Rights Day’ in every nook and corner of the world. The sudden rise in the violation of human rights especially women rights have compelled the people to rethink about the relevancy of the day. The term ‘human rights’ refers to those rights that are considered universal to humanity, regardless of citizenship, residency status, ethnicity, gender, or other considerations. A person is inherently entitled to these unchallengeable fundamental rights simply because she or he is a human being irrespective of his/her place of birth, sex, nationality, origin, colour, language, religion. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights adopted by the UN General Assembly, 10th December 1948, is regarded as the Magna Carta in the history of mankind. Despite, it seems that there is mad race behind to violate human rights especially women rights in different part of the world. The Northeast India is not an exception to this. The region being victimized through socio-economic turbulence, political issues and insurgent problems also has become a target of racism - the earliest form of discrimination. In spite of the growing international awareness and constitutional recognitions, women rights in the region continue to suffer unreasonably from gender-based violence, witch-hunting, women trafficking etc. The main objective of this paper is to find out the major causes of women’s rights violation in NE India and highlighting the role of media in protecting these rights. The data collected are primarily from the secondary sources and a descriptive method has been adopted while analyzing the data. Keywords:Women’ rights, Racial discrimination, Gender discrimination, Witch-hunting, Women trafficking, Medias.
