and Rosemarie Garland- Thomson I hope to answer the question of why intersectionality is imperative to feminist discourse and praxis. Feminism, in simple terms, refers to collective desire to end the oppression of women.

Also, there is a vast exploitation in the sporting industry, making a profit of sportsmen and consumers. Moreover, gender inequality and exploitation overlap in numerous sporting disciplines. In this piece, I will…

Since feminism is relatively new to IR, some scholars are preoccupied with ‘slotting’ it into an existing overarching theoretical arena, most commonly within a branch of liberalism.

Throwing a radical overhaul on the framed aspect of Patriarchy and Feminism, we understand Patriarchy as the dominance of male power exclusively over women.

Although the term “feminism” in its Western sense is often apply, these women seek out “to define their own form of feminism that promotes women’s rights within their own particular Islamic context and are, generally, not too concerned with labels of ‘feminist’ or ‘feminism’” (Evrard 2014, Wuerth 2005). Furthermore, French colonial rule and up until Morocco’s independence in 1956, had an impact on perceptions of feminism. To some extent, colonization occasioned some…

During the 1970s, people started questioning gender and societal norms, leading to the second wave of Feminism, and other movements seeking rights for various groups.
