Conclusion

Feminism, much more than a demand, is an essential dynamic towards equality and social justice.
Through this presentation, we explored its foundations, its contemporary issues and the profound
impact it has on our societies. We have seen that despite progress, challenges persist: wage
inequalities, stereotypical representations, gender-based violence, etc. So many battles that require
continuous mobilization.

But feminism is not just about fighting: it is also a worldview that advocates inclusion, respect and
empowerment for everyone, regardless of gender. Thus, it is up to all of us, in our personal and
professional spheres, to act to build a more equitable future.

Far from being a complete struggle, feminism is an ever-evolving conversation, an invitation to

rethink our behaviors and systems. Together, we can turn these ideas into tangible realities. So let's
continue this dialogue and commit ourselves to being the architects of a more just and egalitarian
world.

Taking a step back

To approach feminism is to dive into a subject that is both historical and profoundly current. In
constructing this presentation, I realized how diverse this movement is, driven by multiple voices
demanding essential justice and equality. It is a subject that provokes debate, but which, above all,
opens up perspectives on the way in which societies evolve and transform.

This work has given me a better understanding of the persistent challenges—structural inequalities,
the need for awareness, everyday struggles—and most importantly, it has shown me that feminism is
much more than a demand: it is a collective project for a more inclusive world. It is not only a
question of defending rights, but of questioning our own behaviours, deconstructing entrenched
patterns and envisioning a society where each individual finds his or her place, without limitations
imposed by gender.

What this reflection has brought me is an even finer awareness of the importance of these struggles.
And if there is still a long way to go, it is motivating to see that the dialogue continues, that progress
is possible, and that everyone, at their own level, can be an actor of change. It's a conversation that
needs to be pursued with nuance, respect, and commitment.
Introduction

Feminism is a social, political and cultural movement that aims to promote gender equality and fight
against the discrimination of which women are historically victims. It is not simply a demand for
rights, but a challenge to the norms and structures that perpetuate gender inequalities.

Feminism has evolved over the decades, dividing into different waves and approaches that respond
to the societal contexts of each era. From the struggles for the right to vote and access to education
to the current struggles against gender-based violence and for better representation in all spheres of
society, it encompasses a wide range of demands.

Today, it does not only concern women but aims at a global transformation of society where
everyone, regardless of gender, can evolve freely without being limited by imposed roles or
expectations. It is a collective reflection on power dynamics and a call for social justice to create a
more equitable and inclusive world.

thought. In 1776, during the founding of the United States, Abigail Adams wrote a letter to her
husband, John Adams, asking him to "remember the ladies." This reminder was a clear request for
women's rights and role to be taken into account in the creation of the laws and institutions of the
new country.

2. Abigail Adams' pioneering gesture Abigail Adams thus succeeded, through a simple letter, in taking
a critical look at the values of the time. At a time when society was structured around a strict
patriarchal model, she dared to challenge the new leaders on the importance of including and
recognizing women. His call was far from trivial: it questioned established norms and invited
reflection on gender equality from the very beginnings of a nation. This visionary gesture paved the
way for a discussion about the place of women in the public and political sphere, even if its demands
were not immediately integrated by the system in place.
1. Background and presentation of the slide

On this slide, the focus is on the year 1791. In large terms, the figure immediately catches the eye,
suggesting that the year in question is a historic turning point. Just below, the text informs us that it
was in 1791 that the Declaration of the Rights of Women and of the Citizen by Olympe de Gouges
was published in France. The visual sobriety – with a dark background and contrasting white text –
allows us to focus our gaze on the importance of this date and the event associated with it.

2. The historical context and the figure of Olympe de Gouges

The French Revolution was a period of radical reshuffling of the social and political order. In 1789, the
Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen redefined the principles of liberty and equality,
but exclusively for men. Olympe de Gouges, a woman of character and an assertive intellectual, then
took the bold gamble, in 1791, of drafting and publishing a parallel declaration that claimed these
same rights for women. In it, she advocated for women to benefit from political, social and even legal
equality, questioning a system deeply rooted in patriarchy.

3. Analysis of the document and the gesture

In this document, Olympe de Gouges does not limit herself to pointing out injustices: she proposes a
model in which women would enjoy the same rights and duties as men, including the right to vote
and to hold public office. Her gesture, both symbolic and subversive, was intended to create an
explicit recognition of female citizenship in a context where it was completely forgotten or minimized.
She thus laid the foundations of a discourse that would feed the demands for women's emancipation
over the decades.
3. Focus on the 1792 slide – Mary Wollstonecraft

Presentation and analysis of the gesture:

 The slide presents the date 1792 in historical context and highlights the publication of A
Vindication of the Rights of Woman by Mary Wollstonecraft.

 In this book, Mary Wollstonecraft challenges the traditional conceptions of femininity of her
time. In it, she argues that the apparent inferiority of women is not innate but the result of a
lack of education and opportunities.

 Her call for intellectual and social emancipation laid the groundwork for what would become
modern feminist thought, inviting us to rethink the place of women in both the domestic and
public spheres.

Impact on feminism:

 Creation of a rational discourse: Wollstonecraft established for the first time a philosophical
and rational argument in favor of gender equality. His advocacy for egalitarian intellectual
education paved the way for debates that continue to this day.

 1792 Slide: It marks another pivotal moment, displaying the historical landmark of
1792, the year Mary Wollstonecraft published A Vindication of the Rights of Woman.
This founding text of Anglo-Saxon feminist thought proposes a radical questioning of
preconceived ideas concerning the nature and social role of women.
Background and description: On this slide, the number 1848 is displayed in large letters, a visual
signal of a pivotal year in the United States. Below it, a text informs us that it was during this year that
the Seneca Falls Convention was organized. This founding event marked the beginning of feminist
activism organized in the country. The slide also includes a portrait, symbolically evoking the
commitment and dignity of the first activists.

Analysis and impact on feminism:

 A historic act of mobilization: The Seneca Falls Convention was the first meeting where
women collectively expressed their desire to have their human rights recognized. This
gathering led to the drafting of a revolutionary document, the "Declaration of Sentiments",
which demanded, among other things, the right to vote.

 Launching a new paradigm: Through this collective action, the participants put forward the
idea that citizenship and equal rights could not be limited to a single gender. This gesture
paved the way for a questioning of patriarchal norms and laid the first foundations for the
women's civil rights movement in the United States.

 Lasting legacy: The impact of the Seneca Falls Convention is still felt today. By stimulating a
long-term movement, this initiative made it possible to nourish feminist demands that would
eventually lead to major advances such as the achievement of women's suffrage at the
beginning of the twentieth century.
Background and presentation: The first image takes us back to the year 1913, in the United Kingdom,
with the tragic event involving Emily Davison, a suffragette activist renowned for her audacity. The
somewhat blurry photograph shows Emily wearing a hat and a feathered outfit, symbolizing both the
femininity of her time and the determination of a woman who did not shy away from any sacrifice.
Emily Davison is known for having tried to tip the scales at the Epsom Derby by throwing herself in
front of the king's horse. Her gesture, both poignant and extreme, was intended to draw attention to
the gross injustice suffered by women, emphasizing that the issues of political and social equality
deserved the ultimate sacrifice.

1. Background and Presentation of the Slide

On this slide, we can see two strong elements:

 The iconic date "March 8, 1917" appears in large letters at the top, immediately drawing
attention to a day of historical significance.

 The explanatory text tells us that this day marks the "Women's Protests in Russia" – women's
demonstrations that later contributed to giving March 8 its international recognition as
International Women's Day.

The black and white photo on the right, showing a group of women protesting with a banner in the
background with inscriptions in Russian, visually reinforces the determination and collective strength
of these activists. This aesthetic choice, both sober and striking, plunges us into the atmosphere of
the time, marked by commitment and courage in the face of situations of glaring inequalities.

2. Analysis of the Historical Gesture

The 1917 Protests in Russia These protests, which took place against a backdrop of growing political
and social tensions in Russia, were not simple gatherings. They represent a rallying cry that has
highlighted the injustices suffered by women. Through courageous demonstrations, women have
affirmed their right to dignity, equality and better representation in society. This gesture was all the
more radical because it came at a time when the female voice was often stifled by a rigid patriarchal
order.

A Catalyst for Change By daring to take to the streets, these women used collective mobilization to
create unprecedented visibility. Their determination helped transform March 8 into a strong symbol
of the fight for gender equality. This exemplary movement marked a turning point in the way
women's demands were perceived, moving from a murmur of protest to one that still resonates
internationally.

3. Impact on Feminism

Birth and internationalization of International Women 's Day Thanks to these protests, March 8 has
gradually established itself as International Women's Day, a date that not only commemorates the
struggles of the time, but still inspires feminist movements around the world today. This visual and
historical reminder shows that collective action can initiate profound change, even in difficult
contexts.

Legacy and Lasting Resonance The impact of these mobilizations can be felt today in the way the
struggles for equality are conducted:
Historical Context and Visual Presentation

On the left side of the slide, the number 1920 is highlighted to draw attention to the pivotal year of
the ratification of the 19th Amendment. The explanatory text details that this amendment
guarantees American women the right to vote—a major achievement after decades of intense
struggle and mobilization. This legislative victory represents the culmination of fierce battles led by
suffragettes to overturn centuries of political exclusion.

On the right side, we see a vintage photograph of a group of people holding signs with virulent
messages, such as "WILSON IS AGAINST WOMEN" and "VOTE AGAINST WILSON, HE OPPOSES
NATIONAL WOMAN SUFFRAGE." These slogans denounced President Wilson's attitude, which was
perceived by some activists as an obstacle to the advancement of women's rights. The contrast
between the informative text and the image of protest underlines both the institutional dimension of
the victory (the ratification of the amendment) and the necessary popular mobilization that
accompanied this conquest.

2. Analysis of Gesture and Impact on Feminism

The Fight for Women's Suffrage: This slide summarizes a struggle that transformed political life in the
United States. After decades of activists and protests, the obtaining of the right to vote in 1920
symbolized much more than a legislative victory: it was the consecration of a long social struggle. The
ratification of the 19th Amendment allowed women to exercise their citizenship fully and equally,
paving the way for increased participation in all areas of public life.

The Political Opposition and the Role of the Protests: The slogans displayed in the photograph show
that this fight was also being played out in the arena of public opinion. The virulent criticism of
President Wilson indicates that political figures of the time were perceived as obstacles to women's
emancipation. This public denunciation is a striking example of how street activism and protests
could change the political discourse, forcing officials to take a stand on the issue of suffrage.
On this slide, the number 1963 is displayed in large letters, which immediately positions the audience
in front of a pivotal moment in modern history. The black and white photograph, depicting a person
with a short hairstyle and a refined style, visually symbolizes renewal and freedom from traditional
codes. The text next to it reminds us that it was in 1963 that Betty Friedan published The Feminine
Mystique. This title stands out as a catalyst for the second wave of feminism, questioning the
traditional roles that locked women into a reductive domestic existence.

2. Analysis of the Gesture and its Historical Context

The Essence of the Book: The Feminine Mystique denounces what was then called "the problem
without a name"—the gradual disappearance of women's identity, confined to roles strictly
subordinate to the service of the home and the family. Through precise analyses and a piercing look
at female consciousness, Betty Friedan questions the very idea that female happiness resides
exclusively in domestic life. This revolutionary observation offers women the opportunity to rethink
their lives, to free themselves from the shackles imposed by a patriarchal society.

Societal and Cultural Context: In the early 1960s, in an America still marked by post-war values, the
housewife model was the dominant norm. The publication of The Feminine Mystique triggered a
radical questioning of this ideal. By proposing an alternative vision, which values the personal,
professional and intellectual development of women, Betty Friedan has not only encouraged
individual reflection, but she has also laid the foundations for collective mobilization. Her book thus
helped to initiate the second wave of feminism, a movement that aimed to transform existing social
and cultural structures.
 n Institutional turning point: The declaration of International Women's Year by the UN in
1975 represents a key moment in the global recognition of women's rights. This symbolic gesture
confirmed that the fight for gender equality was not just a local or regional movement, but that it was
now part of a global dynamic. The aim was to create an international platform to discuss, plan and
implement policies that promote women's empowerment.

Mobilization and Visibility: By drawing the attention of the international community, this declaration
has helped transform several feminist initiatives into a truly global movement. The visibility granted
by the UN has strengthened the legitimacy of women's demands, stimulating a collective awareness
of issues that have often been neglected until now, such as wage inequality, discrimination and
limited access to civil rights.

3. Impact on the Feminist Movement

Catalyst for Concrete Change:

 Global Recognition: This initiative has helped to put women's rights high on the international
agenda. Many public policies and legislative reforms aimed at promoting gender equality
have been given impetus by this UN spotlight.

 Inspiration for Activism: For activists and decision-makers alike, 1975 is often perceived as
the year when the feminist issue took on a global dimension. This has facilitated the
dissemination of ideas and practices aimed at improving the situation of women in a practical
way: education, employment, health, and political participation.

 Lasting Legacy: The effects of this declaration are still being felt today. Every March 8, when
International Women's Day is celebrated, we are also reminded of the spirit of 1975 that
transformed a simple proclamation into a real lever for change.
A Defining Moment for Global Feminism: The holding of the Fourth World Conference on Women in
Beijing in 1995 was a pivotal milestone in the history of feminism. It brought together politicians,
non-governmental organizations and activists from around the world around a common agenda: to
advance the cause of gender equality through concrete action. The Beijing Declaration and Platform
for Action detail goals in areas as diverse as health, education, political participation and ending
violence against women. They established a normative framework that has inspired and guided many
public policies over the years.

A Catalyst for Global Change: This international gathering has on the one hand strengthened the
legitimacy of feminist demands by showing that the struggle for equality goes beyond national
borders and, on the other hand, stimulated collective action. By encouraging governments to
integrate these goals into their national strategies, the consensus reached in Beijing has enabled a
shift from a theoretical discourse on equality to concrete and measurable action. The strength of the
gesture lies in the ability of this conference to federate various voices and create a dynamic of
pressure that persists in gender equality policies today.

3. Resonance and Legacy for the Feminist Movement

 Structuring Equality Policies: The Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action have served as
an indispensable reference for legislative reforms and the implementation of equality
agendas around the world. They have contributed to the establishment of regular monitoring
of progress at the national and international levels.

 Symbolic Impact and Mobilization: The image of the speaker at the podium, strong and
committed, embodies the courage and perseverance of feminists who, since always, have
fought to transform mentalities. This visual representation continues to inspire current
activists, reminding us that every collective action, no matter how symbolic, can bring about
revolutions in the political and social spheres.

 Sustainable Influence: The commitments made in 1995 have put gender equality on the
global agenda, influencing future generations. Contemporary debates about equity, access to
rights and women's representation in all spheres of society have their roots in this founding
moment that anchored the idea that change is possible through unity and determination.
 Historical and Social Context

The context around October 2017 was marked by numerous scandals and revelations concerning
sexual abuse in various spheres — from the film industry to the corporate world. The #MeToo
movement, initially initiated by Tarana Burke years earlier, has found a new resonance thanks to the
massive sharing of testimonies on social networks. This wave has allowed thousands of voices to be
heard, revealing the magnitude of the problem and the need for a profound change in the way we
think about respect and gender equality.

3. Impact on Feminism and Contemporary Struggles

Democratization of the Word and Visibility:

 The strength of the movement lies in the power of testimonies shared online, which have
made it possible to democratize speech and expose realities that have long been hidden.
Each personal story helped create a mosaic of denunciations that could no longer be ignored.

Transformation of Mentalities and Practices:

 The #MeToo movement has not only shone a light on harassment and abuse, but has also
pushed for a questioning of prevailing norms. It has provided the impetus to review
institutional and professional policies to protect victims and punish inappropriate behaviour.

 The messages displayed in the demonstrations, such as "STOP OBJECTIFYING WOMEN!",

testify to a categorical refusal to reduce women to an object. This critique aims to transform
media, advertising and social practices, by insisting on the dignity and respect that must be
given to everyone.

A New Chapter in the Fight for Equality:

 By its scale and its ability to mobilize an international audience, #MeToo marked a real break
with the past. It paved the way for a feminism that no longer just demands formal equality,
but also demands an environment free from abuse and harassment.
 This movement has encouraged debates on issues that are sometimes difficult to address,
while inspiring legislative reforms and concrete actions in various institutions. He thus
reinforced the idea that social change requires collective denunciation and shared
responsibility.

. Analysis of Gesture and Impact on Feminism

 Struggle for Legal Rights: The First Wave focused on securing essential legal rights. The
actions represented on this slide illustrate the commitment of the first feminists through
demonstrations and awareness campaigns that have made it possible, little by little, to
question the patriarchal order in place. This fight for suffrage and legal recognition laid the
foundations for equality, influencing future reforms in the long term.
 The Second Wave Movement: Unlike the First Wave, which focused primarily on legal rights
like suffrage, the Second Wave tackled complex issues such as workplace discrimination,
reproductive rights, and domestic violence. It challenged not only legal inequalities, but also
cultural and social norms that locked women into predefined roles.

 Diversity and Plurality: The third phase of feminism has put forward the idea that women's
experiences are not homogeneous. By acknowledging the richness of differences in terms of
 ethnicity, social class, sexuality and culture, this wave has called into question the presumed
universality of previous demands. Every voice, whether from a traditionally marginalized
background or a minority group, has found its place in the feminist discourse.

 Intersectionality: The concept of intersectionality, popularized during this period, allows us to

analyze how several systems of oppression intersect and reinforce each other. It thus offers a
more nuanced understanding of discrimination, insisting on the fact that the fight for equality
must take into account all the identity and social factors that condition each woman's
experience.

 Individual Empowerment: The Third Wave also stands out for its insistence on the
importance of the empowerment of each individual. Beyond collective demands in terms of
civil and political rights, this movement aims to allow individuals to reclaim their identity and
their destiny. Personal empowerment appears here as a central dimension, inviting each
woman to assert her uniqueness, while joining together in a common fight for social justice.

3. Impact and Legacy of the Movement

 Redefining Feminism: The Third Wave has made it possible to renew feminism by broadening
its field of action and opening it up to issues that were previously little addressed. In doing so,
she laid the foundation for an inclusive feminism that is able to integrate diverse perspectives
and challenge imposed norms.

 Digitalization of Engagement: The Fourth Wave takes full advantage of social

media and digital tools to spread feminist messages. The slide highlights the ability of digital
technology to create networks of solidarity, organize viral campaigns and amplify initiatives that
challenge sexism on a large scale. It is a revolution where online communication is becoming a
powerful tool for mobilization and change.
 Fight Against Sexism and Promotion of Inclusivity: The explicit slogan reflects a double objective:
to actively challenge the forms of sexism that persist under various guises (harassment, systemic
discrimination, etc.) while promoting an inclusive vision that integrates diversity of origins, genders
and identities. This positioning makes it possible not only to deal with traditional inequalities, but also
to open the debate to new forms of recognition and emancipation.

Amanda Gorman embodies a powerful and revolutionary

voice in the world of contemporary feminism. As a poet and activist, she uses her art to address
critical issues of gender, race, and human rights, providing an intersectional and inclusive perspective
that resonates with a wide audience.

Resonance of her messages in feminism:

 Voice of renewal: Amanda Gorman represents the engaged youth who are redefining the
contours of feminism today. She embodies the idea that artistic speech and creativity can be
tools for social transformation and emancipation.

 Intersectionality and inclusivity: Through her approach, she emphasizes that the fight for
equality cannot be reduced to a simple fight for women's rights, but must also integrate the
dimensions of race, class and cultural background. This positions her as a representative of a
pluralist feminism that is open to all identities.

 Mobilization through poetry and the media: Her intervention at national events shows how
art, in this case poetry, can become a powerful means to inspire, bring people together and
raise awareness for major social causes. His presence on the public stage, often accompanied
by symbolic images such as that of the iconic American flag, underscores his influence both
nationally and internationally.

In short, Amanda Gorman embodies the spirit of a modern feminism that not only demands equality,
but also opposes it with creativity and passion to established structures. Her work and commitment
are a perfect example of how art can become a lever for action and change, inspiring everyone to
rethink the concepts of inclusivity and social justice in our society.

The first image, featuring Ngozi Okonjo, represents an emblematic figure of female emancipation in
the global economic and political spheres. By becoming the first woman to lead the World Trade
Organization, she embodies a significant breakthrough in areas traditionally reserved for men.

What she symbolizes in the world of feminism:

 Breaking the glass ceiling in the global economy: Ngozi Okonjo demonstrates that women
can reach the highest levels of economic power. Her journey inspires not only through her
personal success, but also by paving the way for other women to occupy decision-making
positions in a global environment often dominated by patriarchal structures.

 Inspiration for intersectional feminism: Originally from Nigeria, she also represents the
struggle of women from diverse backgrounds for equality and recognition. Her example
highlights the importance of a feminism that integrates not only gender issues, but also
ethnocultural and geographical dimensions. This shows that the quest for equality transcends
local borders and prejudices.

 A model of leadership and institutional change: His tenure at the helm of an international
institution symbolizes changing mindsets and moving towards a more equitable society. By
redefining what it means to be a leader in the economic sector, she lays the groundwork for a
feminism that is not limited to domestic or civil rights, but extends to access to the spheres of
power and the global economy.

In short, Ngozi Okonjo represents for the feminist movement an embodiment of change: living proof
that female emancipation and leadership can be achieved even in the most complex and competitive
fields. Her journey inspires an inclusive vision of feminism, where the diversity of backgrounds and
backgrounds enriches the fight for equality and social justice.
prah Winfrey embodies an emblematic and multifaceted figure of contemporary feminism. In the
world of feminism, she mainly represents:

 Cultural and Media Inspiration: Oprah's exceptional journey from humble circumstances to
phenomenal success in the media has shattered many glass ceilings. Her career demonstrates
that a woman can determine her own destiny and influence millions of people through her
charisma, resilience and authenticity.

 A Model of Empowerment and Leadership: By openly sharing her personal story, challenges
and successes, she encourages other women to believe in their abilities. Her inspiring
leadership is helping to redefine the standards of female power, showing that a woman can
be a successful entrepreneur, an influential communicator, and a committed philanthropist all
at once.

 An Architect of Social Change: Through her shows and philanthropic initiatives, Oprah has
always highlighted the importance of empowerment, well-being and solidarity. She has
created spaces for dialogue on crucial issues such as mental health, identity, and equal
opportunity, thus strengthening the feminist discourse and being open to intersectionality.

 An Ambassador of Inclusivity and Diversity: Associated with the American flag in her
imagery, she embodies an influence that transcends cultural and social boundaries. Oprah
promotes a vision of feminism that includes and values all voices, whether they come from
diverse backgrounds or face various forms of inequality.

In short, Oprah Winfrey is not only a media personality, but she is also a transformative force in the
world of feminism: she redefines norms, inspires change through her exemplary career, and
continues to promote a more just and inclusive society.
Jacinda Ardern has left her mark on the world of feminism not only through her political career, but
also through her leadership model that combines empathy, inclusion and concrete action. Here are a
few points illustrating what she has done for feminism:

1. Promoting inclusive and empathetic leadership: As Prime Minister of New Zealand, she has
shown that it is possible to exercise power with listening and compassion. Her collaborative
and dialogue-based style has reinvented the image of female leadership and inspired many
women to believe in their ability to hold decision-making positions.

2. Implementing progressive policies: His Government had advanced the gender equality
agenda by adopting concrete measures such as expanding parental leave, promoting pay
equity, and improving protections against domestic violence. These initiatives have helped to
create an environment where women can better balance work and family life, and feel truly
supported in their journey.

3. Increased representation and visibility of women: Ardern insisted that decision-making

bodies reflect the diversity of society. She has worked to increase the representation of
women on boards and other key positions, changing standards and providing an inspiring role
model for future generations.

4. Inclusivity and Intersectionality Championship: Through her approach, she emphasized that
the fight for equality must not be limited to a single group, but must integrate the realities of
all women, including those from traditionally marginalized backgrounds. By highlighting the
importance of including different voices in the public debate, her action reinforces the idea of
a plural and global feminism.

In short, Jacinda Ardern has contributed to feminism by demonstrating that benevolent and inclusive
power can transform politics. Her legacy lies as much in the policies she put in place as in the example
of leadership she embodies, inspiring a new generation of women to take back their place in the
public sphere.
Tawakkul Karman represents an iconic figure of feminism, embodying the courage and determination
needed to break down the barriers imposed by highly patriarchal and often conflict-ridden societies.

 A defender of human rights and freedom of expression: As a Yemeni activist and Nobel
Peace Prize laureate, she has courageously denounced oppression and injustice, saying loud
and clear that women, like all human beings, deserve to freely express their opinions and
participate fully in public life. Her fight for freedom of expression is an essential pillar of her
feminist commitment.

 A symbol of resistance in a difficult context: Originally from Yemen, a country where cultural
constraints and armed conflicts complicate access to fundamental rights, Tawakkul Karman
inspires with his action. It shows that even in the most restrictive environments, it is possible
to claim and advance gender equality. Her journey offers a powerful example of how
feminism can be part of a global approach to defending human rights.

 A voice for intersectionality: Her activism highlights the importance of taking into account
the complexity of intersecting oppressions – gender, culture, geopolitical context, etc. In this
sense, she embodies a feminism that is not content to defend an isolated right, but that is
committed on several fronts to a true and global emancipation.

In short, Tawakkul Karman symbolizes for the feminist movement the fusion between the fight for
women's rights and the broader defense of human rights. Her career and her commitment remind us
that feminism, in its most authentic dimension, is above all a quest for justice and equality for all,
even in the most difficult contexts.
