Feminism is a socio-political and cultural movement advocating for the rights and equality of women in relation to men. It seeks to address issues of gender inequality, discrimination, and social norms that perpetuate the marginalized status of women. Feminism encompasses a variety of ideologies and theories that focus on different aspects of women’s experiences and oppression, including but not limited to legal rights, reproductive rights, gender roles, and workplace equality.
