Human rights probably originated when humans began to colonize. When these people began working together to get food, land, etc., they probably began making simple rules/rights: Work and you will get food. These rules/rights are challenged by those who try to get around them. Some punished through execution or exiled. Many tribes began to realize that worshipping a god/goddess unifies the community. They then make gods out of powerful objects in nature, such as water, the sun, wind, etc. Once the groups accepted these gods, they could apply those rules to the religion and say that if you follow the rules, you will have rewards after death, but punishment should you disobey. This led to cooperation within the tribe. Religion also led to inspiration in battle. Believing that the gods are on your side is a great motivator to fight. Once these tribes conquered/unified their cultures/religions began to contradict each other, so some joined the two religions into one that both groups could accept.
Now for women's rights, those probably originate when men went out to hunt while women took care of the children. Because the man was providing the food, something a women(in general) couldn't do as well, men proclaimed themselves better through their religions and cultures.
But in the 21st century, religion has a smaller voice as world wide communication has taken hold. Humans now realize that we can be cooperative without the fear of religion thanks to laws and communities.
