Abstract

Over the last three decades, the history of women development has been recorded with an increased active hue of humanitarian and women’s rights context. The crisis calls for a response and collective action to propose an efficient framework to protect affected women from violations of their rights. Under the shield of humanitarian approach, right to equality and human rights law, the issue at hand demanded a global humanitarian response plan that employs strong advocacy and powerful activism to protect and ensure that the victims overcome social discrimination through preventing, responding and securing accountability for violation of fundamental rights. This article brings forth some of the international legal frameworks and the international status of women contributing to the economy by enhancing workforce participation. Additionally, the article focuses on identifying some of the historically challenging barriers that prevent women from participating in the fast-growing industrial sectors through sustainable workforce participation. This initiative involves considerable factors that enable effective collaboration in prevention, response and advocacy involving combined expertise to record the vulnerabilities that continue to considerably impact violations. Though there are considerable inhibits in addressing the most gender-sensitive issue, long-standing policy and practice implementation can necessitate risk aversion for the humanitarian crisis.
