Influence of Women's Rights Movement

 Women Working Together to Create Change

 The Women's Rights Movement over the last 30 years has made major impact on our society. According to Alliance Magazine writer Nicky McIntyre, "The work of women’s rights movements has led to nothing short of a revolution in public attitudes, law and governance, in the private sector and civil society. While many women’s rights groups are small, their aggregate impact is enormous." 

Below are the major areas impacted by the Women's Movement

Violence against women is publicly discussed and no longer considered justifiable.

"Women’s rights activists continue to challenge discourses and practices that focus only on protecting women from harm, also championing an affirmative approach to ensure that women have agency over their bodies, sexuality and reproductive lives" (McIntyre).

There are more anti-discrimination laws today protecting women in the workplace.

According to Llopis of Forbes Magazine, women are experts in taking advantage of opportunities, professional networking, facilitating connections, and conscientious leaders.

Women are uniting to work together to end discrimination. 

"Women, girls and trans people who were often spoken for by others are 

demanding to speak for themselves" (McIntyre).
