Frauenbewegung (Women’s Movement)

The Frauenbewegung, or Women’s Movement, refers to a series of social, political, and cultural efforts aimed at achieving gender equality. It advocates for women's rights, such as equal pay, access to education, reproductive rights, and protection against discrimination and violence. Originating in the 19th century and evolving through waves, the movement has addressed issues like suffrage, workplace equality, and gender-based violence. Its goal is to challenge and change societal norms and laws that perpetuate inequality, promoting a more equitable and just society where women have the same opportunities and rights as men.
