Primary Research: Mum

Through my mum she told me many things in India about feminism which includes different groups,norm's and values.


  • Savitribai Phule (1831-1897) - Perhaps the earliest Indian feminist. Started the first school for girls in the subcontinent.[47][48]


Furthermore she told me about equal work rights,marriage (underage) and abortion. Another issue that concerns women is the dress code expected of them. Islam requires both men and women to dress modestly; this concept is known as hijab and covers a wide interpretation of behavior and garments. There is mixed opinion among feminists over extremes of externally imposed control. Women from other religions are also expected to follow dress codes.

  she also talked about birth ratio and sex-selective abortion which I further researched into!
