Global South Feminism

Global South Feminism refers to feminist perspectives originating from regions in the Global South—countries in Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East—highlighting issues unique to these contexts. It emphasizes understanding gender inequality alongside factors like colonial history, economic development, culture, and social structures. This approach seeks to challenge Western-centric views of feminism, acknowledging diverse experiences and promoting activism that addresses local needs. By doing so, Global South Feminism aims to create more inclusive, equitable strategies for gender justice that respect cultural differences while advocating for women's rights worldwide.
