Abstract

This article examines the intricate relationships that exist between feminism, gender equality, and gender, offering a thorough examination of their historical background, present difficulties, and potential future ramifications. Examining the development of feminist movements, evaluating gender equality in numerous domains, and identifying persistent barriers to attaining full equality are the main goals. Using a mixed-methods approach, this research combines qualitative information from surveys and interviews with a review of scholarly papers, reports, and case studies.

Key findings underscore the significance of intersectional approaches in comprehending the complex nature of gender inequality by revealing persisting discrepancies in income gaps, representation, and resource access. The discussion highlights the need for focused legislation and grassroots initiatives to address these problems, and it makes the case that progress requires a cooperative strategy including a variety of stakeholders. To effectively serve marginalized populations, this study calls for a reevaluation of present frameworks and practices within feminist discourse, underscoring the significance of ongoing research and activity in the goal of gender equality.
