The Consciousness-Raising Movement

The Consciousness-Raising Movement was a key aspect of the second-wave feminist movement in the 1960s and 1970s. It involved women sharing personal experiences and information to understand how societal structures influenced gender inequality. Through group discussions, women became aware of common issues like workplace discrimination, sexual rights, and domestic roles, fostering collective awareness and empowerment. This movement helped raise public consciousness about women's struggles and motivated activism for policy change, ultimately contributing to the broader push for gender equality.
