Abstract
International human rights standards ensure equality and non discrimination for all individuals, regardless of gender or sex. Both women and men are entitled to enjoy all human rights and fundament al freedoms. This study examines how transitional societies in post Soviet countries have adapted this concept into law and fulfilled their international commitments alongside national obligations. The analysis is framed through the lens of international h uman rights obligations and the Sustainable Development Goals Agenda. The research also assesses the role of women’s human rights organizations, with case studies from Georgia and the Republic of Moldova. The findings, conclusions, and recommendations are presented in the study.
