Q4 of 6 Page 203

How was the idea of equality being similar or differently challenged by women and workers movements?

Women’s movement is a need because the crack between women and men is the keystone to problems in gender equality. Women and children are discriminated in personal, family and public spaces. Girls and women still suffer unreasonably from gender-based violence, inequity, and lack of contact with basic human rights.


The idea of equality is so important in all periods in history.


a) We need a women's movement because the movement's vision of change goes well beyond the concept of creating gender equality.


b) Women’s movement is about pointing out how we can take care of every woman who is very much needed to sustain all life. Making this kind of deep and lasting change is not a small thing.


c) Women’s movement demands massive systems change, including reorganization of our economies, politics, and religious institutions, own personal habits, motivations, and way of living together in our social system.
