Abstract

Women have been victims of domestic violence since ancient times. Numerous feminist movements arose to address this issue and improve women's position. Women's movements are believed to be among the most important modern social movements. From the 19th century Canadian women's suffrage campaigns to contemporary direct activities for sustainable development in India, national organisations and local grassroots groups have worked together to promote women and girls. Global wealth and power disparities create disparate and sometimes competing compassions for women's concerns. The prevalence of oppression against women has led to the establishment of global women's movements tied to fights for sovereignty, democracy, and secure livelihoods.
