An important modern trend in international relations is the growth of transnational movements and organizations that are concerned with global issues. This includes the transnational women's movement and its associated organizations. Though women's attitudes and emphases may vary, the transnational women's movement shares a similar philosophy and goals.

Feminists, both women and the men who support gender equity, are pursuing numerous projects and making progress.
