We all know about the feminist movement but, we know very little about it. Men generally regarded this as a feminine caprice, without application, and most women seem not to look out what special efforts are being made for them in improving quality of life. In the following I will try to show the contribution of feminist movement.

The struggle for the emancipation of women: sexual violence
If we talk about the fight against sexual violence and abortion legalization, we must remember that a woman's right to self-determination and on one's body were found in the center of public issues and, legalizing abortion was discussed and promoted in many countries and by the women of all social classes.

Another crucial issue was sexual violence. Rape, sexual abuse and those of family in private space, which before were hidden, were now out at daylight and showed. Thus began to establish shelters for women, self-help groups and hotline for women who have suffered sexual abuse or other causes.

Regarding the education of young generations, women have established kindergartens for children and have developed extremely important issues relating to education, such as assigning specific roles to each sex since childhood, educational methods without any form of oppression.

Women's empowerment in terms of cultural, artistic, legal
Discrimination and unequal treatment of wives have been removed. Family law and marriage has undergone reforms in many countries. These reforms have focused on choice of family name (last name in a marriage can be both of the man and the woman's) marriage law (man and woman have equal rights in terms of exertion of a job) the law of divorce ( was disbanded the principle of guilty part) and the right to custody in which prevails the principle of child welfare. In labor field, were issued laws that protect pregnant workers (job retention).

In terms of the culture of feminism, it requires intellectual emancipation of women, raising the education and training, access to education, science, art and culture in equal proportion to men.
Because women's emancipation and the power she won in front of the men, today's women often tends to neglect her statutes, forgetting to reserve enough time for her and her family, run by professional achievement. Let's not forget, that being strong, means not to lose our romance, femininity and fragility, because what value the most is still feminine charm.

The term feminism describes a political, cultural movement aimed at establishing more freedom , rights and protection for woman. Nowadays woman become more independent, they can be politicians, even presidents. In a modern life woman become more imperious,strong. We see many woman-heros in movie. Woman character is srong by nature. But I don't like a concept when woman become stronger but men become weaker. It sounds sad
