Why Feminism is still needed today?
So long as inequality and male supremacy persist, women and girls need feminism. Women earn less and are more likely to live in poverty, male violence against women and sexual harassment are ‘norms’ in all societies, and men are more likely to commit suicide – patriarchy is to blame for ALL of these things.
How relevant is feminism in the 21st century?
Even men and women should work together to fight for equality on both sides. It’s relevant even in the 21st century, we need feminism not to overpower men but to provide women with equality and the same respect in the society as a man gets.
Is feminism important to society?

Gender roles (a set of conforming rules that say how a person should behave based on their gender) can be harmful to both men and women. It is also unfair to place pressure on boys to fulfil certain roles that are based on their gender.

The feminist theory promotes the recognition that women have more welfare work as well as oppressive and sexist social services, then change it with alternative social services agencies, including the social work practices that focused on women (women-centred practice) (Gibbs, 2001).
Feminist theories explain the structure and dynamics of women’s experiences within sociopolitical and interpersonal sexual hierarchies. To enhance flexibility and responsiveness in applying the theories, social workers should be conversant in various branches of feminism.
