Everyone, regardless of their gender, should have equal rights and opportunities. That’s feminism in a nutshell. The movement began in the 1800s when women fought for the right to vote, own property and receive education. Today, feminism looks different.

Modern feminism focuses on the belief in the equality of people of all genders, and dismantling anything and everything that stands in the way of gender inequality.

“These inequalities could be pay inequality, gender-based health care inaccessibility, rigid social expectations, or gender-based violence which still impact people everywhere to this day,” explains ABC News.

Many argue that historically, feminism focused primarily on the struggles of white, middle-class women, despite many black women being part of the movement. These women of color still faced barriers even after important feminist victories

More recently, feminists are fighting not just for women, but for those who were previously excluded from the movement, like women of color and gender diverse people.

“Our gender, our race, disability, class, sexuality, and more – all of these pieces of ourselves generate different lived experiences and also help us understand that no one of us is just one thing,” says Diana Duarte, the Director of Policy and Strategic Engagement at MADRE, a feminist group. “This inclusive vision is a powerful and integral part of feminism.”
