Woman Power

Despite making up half the global population, women and girls have historically struggled – and still do – with less rights, less education, less opportunities, less freedom, less power, and less pay.

Feminism – the radical idea that women should have the same rights as men – and activism led by women globally have brought huge changes and progress for both women, men, and children. When women get angry, often because their lives, the lives of their children or their families are in danger, they become incredibly powerful, and are capable of bringing about huge change. More often than not, their protests are for everyone’s rights, not just women’s.
