Feminist Movements and Gender: Goals and Relationship

Abstract

The feminist movements have adopted various methods and strategies to achieve their goals, primarily related to women's rights, working to end their marginalisation and eliminate all forms of discrimination they perceive. These feminist movements have waged a war against customs, traditions, cultural heritage, and religious practices that they see as directly contributing to discrimination against women, controlling and oppressing them. Their activities have included protests and field actions demanding women's empowerment and the elimination of what they view as injustice and marginalization. On the other hand, these movements have successfully embraced the strategy of gender equality, becoming part of the international legal framework that binds many countries. The United Nations calls for the inclusion and integration of gender equality in its internal policies and national laws.
