Throughout the history of mankind it has been the women who have struggled for their rights. Woman's rights though an often heard term these days in several parts of the world, is an issue that has been in existence for centuries now. Their struggle has been for various things such as respect, equality. To put it in a nutshell woman's rights has always been about struggles to get equal rights as that of men.
Societies around the world have subjected women to various atrocities at different points in time. There are many forms of patriarchy which still exist in many parts of the world. Such forms portray an ideology where men are inevitably considered superior to women and therefore have sway over woman’s rights. This ideology is not confined to some parts of the world and could be found in many societies around the world. It is because of these social structures and morals that women around the world are struggling for their rights. These rights are the same rights which often men take for granted. This struggle for woman’s rights gave rise to feminism. Feminism actually is a philosophy which deals with women and where their valuable contributions are recognized. Feminism as such has given a boost in the struggle for woman’s rights.
Moreover when you say feminists it need not necessarily mean women alone. It could also be anyone from boys to girls and even men in the society in general. What it means is people who value contributions from women.
Feminism has come as a shot in the arm in the struggle for woman's rights. These feminists are continuing their fight for a world, where everyone, both men and women are considered equals. They are fighting for a world where there is no discrimination based on gender, age and other related factors. The main motivation for the struggle of feminists comes from their view of the world as being unequal or being biased towards the rights of men when compared to that of woman's rights.
