Zara (name)
Zara is a feminine given name and a surname. Zara is commonly cited as a Hebrew name and considered a variant of the Hebrew name Sarah or a feminine form of Zarah, better known as Zerah, a biblical figure from the Book of Genesis. The connection between Zara and Zarah is not well-supported by evidence. Another theory suggests that Zara is an Arabic version of Zahra, meaning "flower" or "radiant." However, the "h" in Zahra is pronounced and not silent, making the origins of the name "Zara" more blurry. Other interpretations say that it is the English form of the name Zaïre, the central character of Voltaire's 1732 play ''Zaïre (The Tragedy of Zara).'' Another derivation, unrelated to the above, is the Bulgarian name Zara (Зара) which is a diminutive of Zaharina or Zaharinka.

Al-Muttaqi

Women's Rights
Women's rights are the rights and Entitlement (fair division), entitlements claimed for women and girls worldwide. They formed the basis for the women's rights movement in the 19th century and the feminist movements during the 20th and 21st centuries. In some countries, these rights are institutionalized or supported by law, local custom, and behavior, whereas in others, they are ignored and suppressed. They differ from broader notions of human rights through claims of an inherent historical and traditional bias against the exercise of rights by women and girls, in favor of men and boys.Hosken, Fran P., 'Towards a Definition of Women's Rights' in ''Human Rights Quarterly'', Vol. 3, No. 2.
