Feminist Firestarter: Activism for an Unravelling World

Description

There are four billion women in the world, yet we still have to argue for equality.Yes,there is progress. But inequality and oppositiion persist everywhere. Equality isn’t justabout equal rights in the law; it is about our fundamental human right to live lives thatare rich and full and fair — to go where we want and be who we want and wear whatwe want and love who we want. The world is failing women and girls. This isn’t just a minor glitch; it’s a pervasiveinequality that could take generations to fix. Even with some gains, women still getshortchanged in education — with millions of girls out of school and countless womenilliterate; in healthcare — with rights to control our own bodies under attack; in theeconomy — with less pay and more unpaid care work; in politics — with a fraction ofleadership roles. This fight isn’t over, it’s just getting started. This book is a call to action, a call to join together to overcome the overwhelm, tostrengthen the resistance, and ultimately to make inequality just that little bit lesscommon. it is a call to hope.
