New notion of Social Activism

There have been varied opinions of the true definition of society from the ancient days and these differences still continue owing to the development of each society in exclusive circumstance. However, there are also striking similarities between them, and one of them is the perpetration against the women. This has been continuing at a stretch from the earlier days, since to the concept of history men are superior to women leading to the formation of patriarchal societies. In spite of this dominant chronicle continuing for centuries the slow but steady usurpation of progressive views led to a new era of alternative thoughts and to the birth of new form of social activism. This activism is to uphold the women’s rights before the global spectrum and to struggle for its attainment and preservation. This exclusive thought of struggle gradually gave birth to liberal feminism that with the passing of years has become a distinctive social movement. So what is the definition of liberal feminism? It can be defined as a mainstream form of feminism thoroughly excluded of all the sub types. Along with this it, in all respects, happens to be an individualistic form, concentrating on women to have the ability for the preservation of their equality by the means of justified actions and choices.

Now the question remains, what has been the main reason behind the huge growth of this social activism in the recent years. The best answer of this can be found in the religious, ethnic and cultural legacies of countries. There are immense specimens that do signify the hapless conditions of women in general. When the theories of globalization and information revolution are ruling the sphere of civilization, the instances of physical, sexual and psychological violence perpetrated against women are getting common. The tortures include sexual abuse of female children in the household, dowry-related violence, marital rape, female genital mutilation and other traditional practices. Social activism, in this situation, is the best weapon to quell the nefarious designs of the perpetrators against women.
