Simplified Meaning:

People often think of human rights and women's rights as separate issues. But this quote reminds us that they are actually the same thing. If we believe in basic rights for all humans, we must include women in that belief. Women's struggles for equality and justice are just as important as any other fight for human rights. For example, think about voting rights. In history, many countries didn't allow women to vote, which was a denial of a basic right. When women stood up and demanded the right to vote, they were actually fighting for human rights because everyone should have a say in their government. Following this idea means recognizing that improving women's lives makes the whole world better, as it supports the principle that every person deserves fair treatment and respect.
