feminist movements

Feminist movements are social and political efforts aimed at achieving equality between genders, particularly focusing on women's rights and addressing issues such as discrimination, reproductive rights, and violence against women. These movements have evolved over decades, with distinct waves; the first addressed legal inequalities, the second focused on broader social attitudes, while contemporary feminism often includes intersectionality, recognizing how race, class, and sexuality intersect with gender. Overall, feminist movements strive for a society where all individuals have equal opportunities, rights, and freedoms, advocating for systemic change to eliminate gender-based injustices.
