This study explores the complex interconnection between human rights and gender-based discrimination and violence, particularly within the framework of developing states. The investigation utilizes a comprehensive legal perspective to analyze and understand the dynamics at play in this multifaceted relationship. The research scrutinizes the multifaceted dynamics that shape and perpetuate gender inequalities, systematically analyzing international legal frameworks, regional instruments, and domestic legislations. By adopting a nuanced approach, the study seeks to unravel the intricacies of how legal structures either uphold or challenge prevailing gender norms and discriminatory practices. The study intends to give detailed insights into the effectiveness of legal procedures in addressing and reducing gender-based discrimination and violence through a comprehensive examination of case studies and jurisprudential trends. The study's findings have important implications for policymakers, legal practitioners, and campaigners, laying the groundwork for informed measures to promote the protection of human rights, particularly in the context of gender equality, within the development landscape.
