Indian Women's Movement
The Indian Women's Movement is a social and political movement aimed at achieving gender equality and improving the status of women in India. It began in the late 19th century, focusing on issues like education, legal rights, and social reform. Key figures, such as Sarojini Naidu and Kamala Nehru, played significant roles in advocating for women's rights.
Over the decades, the movement has addressed various issues, including domestic violence, dowry, and gender discrimination. Organizations and activists have worked to raise awareness and influence policy changes, leading to important legislation like the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act in 2005.
