Women do not have inalienable rights, from a god or anybody. For most of human history, being a woman has not been an existence replete with rights and dignity, in any religion or any place.
It is only with the advent of a more modern civilization with more secular governance that women have begun to enjoy human rights. Churches have not traditionally been stalwart activists for the rights of women, although some (think Episcopalians) have become much better about it.
This has only happened because we, as a culture, have decided to allow it, and studies show that places where women are freer are more prosperous places, so it's clearly better for the well-being of the region to allow women equal (or more equal) rights.
