Recently the world has been into a lot of difficulties, but we can't forget about our feminists life. We feminists should be more engaged about what is happening in our world. Did you know that some women who are against feminists wanted to ban the word feminism ? That is insane right? This conflict is only one of many. Here are three of several issues we are going to face this year, 2016.
1. The very first problem, we feminists are facing in this brand new year are the reproductive rights. We have been having this problem already for a long time but now it had become more intense in 2015. They created new laws on the topic of abortion. They are known as TRAP laws which stands for Targeted Regulation of Abortion Providers. This law is basically new requirements on clinics and hospital admitting privileges for attending physicians and ordering the building expansion. Four states started to use this law in 2015.
What we could do to solve this problem: We could support candidates who are also supporting our reproductive rights..
2. The second issue we are facing in 2016 is Intersectionality. The meaning is very important to understand our society issues and how to save our problems. Intersectionality is a concept often used in critical theories to describe the ways in which oppressive institutions are interconnected and cannot be examined separately from one another, according to the geek feminism wiki. If you are really passionate about this topic of women’s right you could help some communities participating in the group or donating money to build more and more communities to help building our society in a good way.
3. Last but not least the terroristic online harassment. If you are a woman that spends a great amount of time in the internet you could have experienced some trolls before. For some women the mistreatment can be very intense. If you are a woman who is experiencing this issue you should tell your political representatives. They can help in the enforcement of a law and it is taken seriously by them, they should help you.
