Question
In what ways have women protested or led their movement?

Answer

Women’s protests or movements have taken place in the following ways:-
  1. Campaigning:- The best way has been to campaign against discrimination and violence. It led to enactment of a law in 2006 to give justice to women who face physical and mental violence in their homes.
  2. Raising Awareness:- An important part of the women's movement's work is to raise public awareness on women’s rights issues. Their message has been spread through street-plays, songs and public meetings.
  3. Protesting:- The women's movements have raised it to voice when violation against women takes place or when a law or policy acts against their interests. Public rallies and demonstrations are very powerful ways of drawing attention to injustice.
  4. Showing Solidarity:- Women's movement has also shown solidarity over other women and causes. Like there was a struggle all over India against frequent rapes in India, specially after the Nirbhaya case of December 2012, where all women's organisation came to protest and showed solidarity over strict anti-rape laws of the country.
