It is a symbol of freedom, citizenship, and liberty and it is the safeguard of all liberties it symbolizes. It is also the instrument for obtaining many more rights. However women have been deprived of this right. In 1908, women were especially deprived of this right in England. Women were influenced to seek a right to vote because of a variety of social conditions.
The first social condition that influenced women to seek their rights to vote was marriage laws. Many individuals questioned whether marriage laws were equal, just, or wise. The marriage

Universally, human rights are fundamental privileges to which all people have claim. As they are automatic entitlements to each individual who is simply a member of humankind, governments cannot 'grant' or 'withdraw' human rights from anyone. Human rights are reflections of the values of society, with the focal purpose of human rights laws being to set the public standards of what is and what is not acceptable treatment towards individuals, as perceived by society on the domestic and international levels. Since the atrocities exposed in World War II, the need for a collective international instrument of human rights laws impacting municipal law was created, and through that an outlined
