Abstract

Since the dawn of time, misogyny has been a constant part of society. Even the smallest entity in society, our own house, has been a victim of misogyny. Earlier, women were even not allowed to speak in important matters and even if they did speak up then their opinions were always ignored. Even after becoming a major part of society, they were still viewed as second-class citizens. This gave rise to the movement of feminism. Respect for women and their perspectives in society was advocated by the feminist movements. In a nutshell, they asked that women have the same rights as men. This paper will explore the journey of feminists against the misogynistic world of international law. The first section of this paper will discuss the role of misogyny and its prominent presence in international law The second section of this paper will discuss the journey of feminism in paving its way in the field of international law. It will also be about the current state of women's rights under international law.
