Woman empower for equality: Woman around the world are fighting for the right to live their lives on their own terms, without a constantly nagging patriarchal society pulling them down at every step they take. There is no dearth of pictures of these marches on social media. But what grabs one`s attention is the fact that, even in the year 2017, the idea of a "woman`s march", of women coming out of onto streets as an empowered, consolidated group is an unusual one. Because the "street", the "outside" is the man`s domain. So when a woman gets out on the street, she is committing a transgression, she is a deviation from the norm.
There are multiple layers and nuances where women's rights are concerned and thus we see multiple shades of feminism. We com across terms like womanism because the formerly used terminology proves to be inadequate and needs to evolve. with the ever increasing complexities of the issue and the rise of misogynistic leaders, one needs to be sensitive to the issue. Only when the nuances of the problem are understood can it be tackled adequately. We need not have umbrella terms, or blanket policies but a comprehensive understanding of situations. Only when the intricacies are looked into can the issue be resolved. This is reproduced for the information of the public and create awareness among the members of sunderfriends. Regards.
