Abstract

Women have been shackled to unjustified social, political and economic chains, they’ve been subjected to whole slew of sexism and degradation, and in order to recertify the fundamental imbalance between men and women, the latter created a movement that acknowledges the weight of their issues and this movement was called “Feminism”, in the early 1990s, the feminist battle continued until the present day under the name of third-wave feminism, in the limelight of this dissertation, the discussion will be centered around the struggles of this wave concentrating on how the third wavers have been fighting for reproduction rights and against sexual violence in addition to other subjects of patriarchy, through enlightening girls to challenge the traditional views of women in order to raise awareness of their oppression, furthermore, this research calls attention to the Neo-feminist literature as one of the most powerful weapons to fight the gender inequality and to address problems such as rape, domestic abuse and sexuality and more important female empowerments to encourage women to be able to create a gender-equal world where women would feel safe.
