However there are many hurdles. I could go on and on. Young women are not only fighting economic and material struggles but also ideological struggles. The fight against misogyny and male supremacy is intertwined in all of these struggles. A prime example is domestic abuse and rape.
Young women are verbally, physically and sexually abused on an hourly basis.
In the past, laws have not had our backs covered, but many pioneers have struggled and continue to struggle for rights for victims. The root of such violence is both economic and ideological. The idea that the struggle for women's equality ended when we gained suffrage is still taught in schools. The notions still exist that feminism is a dirty word and the struggle for women's liberation is anti-male. Cultural influences distort young women's self worth and esteem.
