Feminism
Feminism is a social and political movement that advocates for equal rights, opportunities, and treatment for women and all genders. It challenges patriarchy, gender discrimination, and stereotypes. Feminism promotes women’s empowerment in areas like education, employment, and politics. There are different waves and forms of feminism (liberal, radical, socialist, etc.), each focusing on different aspects of inequality. In India, feminism has played a key role in bringing laws against dowry, domestic violence, and promoting gender-sensitive policies.
