Indian Women's Movement

The Indian Women’s Movement is a social and political effort aiming to improve women's rights and status in India. It began in the late 19th century, addressing issues like education, health, and legal rights. Over the decades, the movement has tackled challenges such as gender-based violence, discrimination, and economic inequality. Key milestones include the formation of organizations advocating for women’s rights, legislative changes like laws against domestic violence, and greater representation in politics. Today, the movement continues to evolve, focusing on intersectionality and inclusive representation for women from diverse backgrounds.
