The Feminist Movement




The Feminist Movement, also known as the Women's Movement and Women's Liberation, refers to  a series of campaigns for reforms on issues such as reproductive rights, domestic violence, maternity leave, equal pay, sexual violence and harassment, the right to vote and overall equality between both sexes.
The movement began in the Western World in the 18th Century and still today, women are fighting for equality.
In some parts of the World, women have very little rights over their opinions, bodies, voice etc. In some parts of the World, young girls are forced into genital mutilation, slavery including sexual trafficking and marriage. 


Things will never get better, or stop until people make a stand.
Throughout this blog i want to touch on serious topics that affect women worldwide in the hope that it may better the life of women everywhere
