This is one of the best times to identify as a feminist. With the rise of social media and blogging, feminism is more visible than ever. Organizations are cropping up in all corners of the world to advocate for issues that are unique to that area. Below are some of the most current movements and what they are doing for their communities.
London
In November 2015, Charlie Edge led a protest outside of Parliament to debate the fact that tampons and pads are taxed as "luxury" items in the UK. She made a Facebook post that gained worldwide attention, and to date has over 23,000 likes and 15,000 shares.
New York City
NYC is one of the latest cities to bring the Free the Nipple movement to their area. Free the Nipple seeks to eradicate sexualization of the female body and restrictions in social media such as Instagram.
Stockholm
An Uhuru movement for solidarity among African-Americans has popped up in Sweden in recent years, and a main part of that conversation has been if feminism should be associated in correlation with a pro-black movement and with Black women. Makda Yohannes and Fosiya Aqli have been at the head of this conversation and have been working to spread the movement to other parts of Sweden as well as the rest of Europe.
New Delhi
CREA is a feminist organization headed in New Delhi that focuses on allowing Indian women to have access to contraceptive options such as birth control and abortion services. They seek to empower Indian women with the agency to make their own choices in a society whose religion still dictates what the norms and morals will be.
Toronto
Since SlutWalk began in Toronto in 2011, feminist movements have continued to flourish in this area. A tumblr called Feminists of Toronto has emerged that is very similar to Facebook sensation Humans of New York, where a profile is taken of Toronto natives profiling why they need feminism in their lives.
Brazil
Casa de Lua is a term that in Portuguese means "house of the moon." It is also a feminist organization that seeks to focus on Black Brazilian women, particularly those who come from a low-income, to have easier access to job opportunities as well as financial government help and access to transportation. They also seek to erase the fetishization of the black female body.
Egypt
Ever since 2011, when millions of Egyptian women protested for their basic rights, the area has been increasing in feminist movements. Some seek to overthrow rape culture, while others are still fighting to give women the religious freedom that would allow them to make their own decision on if they want to wear a hijab or other Islamic clothing.
China
Although a nationwide feminist movement has not yet happened in China, college students are becoming more vocal about their feminism and are creating political protests on college campuses for freedom and equality to men.
Pakistan
Ever since Malala Yousafzai won the Nobel Peace Prize for her advocacy in education for women, feminism has risen in the South Asian country. Protests for equal education of women has begun, and the encouragement for women to have the same rights as their male counterparts.
