The answer is "It challenges relativism by recognizing an objective standard of women's rights toward which the country has progressed".

Cultural relativism is the possibility that a man's convictions, qualities, and practices ought to be comprehended in light of that individual's own particular culture, instead of be judged against the criteria of another.
