Anew study has demonstrated the importance of women's rights.Theresearchers behind the study state  thatmany parts of the world have made good economic progress,but women's rights are often overlooked. Thus,they wanted to determine if there was a link between protection of women's rights and public health

The researchersanalyzed databaseswhich held information from 162countries for the period 2004 to 2010.

Countries were classified according to the respect they gave to women's economic andsocial rights.There were three categories.They were high,moderate,and poor

This confirms that even with a lack of resources,if a country has strong women's rights,the health  outcomes are better.

Thus,the researchers argued that gender cquality s notjusta women's rights issue.Itis also a development  issue.This is because better health aidseconomic development.They note that the value of women's right has often been questioned from an economic standpoint.
