Answer 1

Answer:

C. C. Basic human rights

• Violence against women and girls is a violation of their basic human rights.

• It affects their mental, physical, and sexual well-being, it prevents them from participating fully in society and the workforce, and it generates large economic costs impacting national budgets and overall development.

• The declining child sex ratio, the practice of gender-biased sex selection, and child marriage all illustrate the extent to which gender discrimination and gender inequality are deeply in-grained.
