The feminist movement definitely differs throughout other cultures, again highlighting the vital need for feminism to be consciously intersectional in its practice. There are unique issues and factors that affect women in different parts of the world than they do in the US. Other cultures/countries have higher risks of female genital mutilation, rape culture, and other forms of overt oppression as just a few examples highlighting these differences.

Oppressive religious institutions and lack of access to information are certainly the two most impactful means of effecting feminist movements around the world. That’s why a sound grassroots approach, which allows for a sense of community to come together, bond, and speak honest/open dialogues about their shared issues.
