Abstract
Being a birth right of an individual Human rights are therefore, inherent in all the individuals irrespective of their caste, creed, religion, sex and nationality. These rights are essential for all the individuals as they are consonant with their freedom and dignity and are conductive to physical, moral, social and spiritual welfare. Women’s human right is defined as the freedoms, liberties and opportunities that women have, especially the opportunity to be treated equal to and given the same legal rights as men. The term women’s rights refers to the freedoms inherently possessed by women and girls of all ages, which may be institutionalized, ignored or suppressed by law, custom, and behavior in a particular society.“The status of women’s human rights: A case study of Baksa District” is based on some important assumptions. The Baksa District is basically a backward and one of the most conflict prone areas of Assam. Several types of conflict have been occurring in this region like ethnic conflict, communal conflict, conflict between insurgent groups and the government, conflict between political parties etc. During the conflict situation some atrocities especially on women were attempted and committed, may be of any type such as molestation, rape, abduction and threatening etc. They also become an easy prey to human trafficking due to lack of education. The violent is responsible for low status of women’s rights. Consequently, status of women’s human rights in Baksa district, basically in education, health, socio-economic and political is lower than in rest of the Assam. This present study is focused on the discriminatory position of women in the family and society .The study is focused on this question--Why Traditional rules are created only for women? Why women are generally excluded from access to power structures and participation in decision-making? Why the gender roles were neglected in the Society? In what is the status of women in Baksa district specially education, health and socio-economic and political. Therefore this problem has been selected for a thorough probe.
