Global Feminism

Global feminism refers to the movement advancing women's rights on a global stage. It is sometimes called "feminism across borders." However, global feminism is critiqued for its posturing of feminism and gender equality as a falsely universal issue. Instead of imposing values and practices on other regions, promoting gender equality is much more effective and meaningful when it comes from listening to communities who are in touch with their own cultural currents, and then aiding them in ways they request.
