Issue

several aspects of day to day
life for all women regardless of
sexual orientation, religion,
race, or social class which
makes it a unique social issue
that promotes unity across
different groups of women
● We can use social media to
organize and bring awareness
to this issue

given an explanation.

not our culture, then we can and
must make it our culture.”

awareness to the issue of women’s rights

meet-ups and protests to bring women and
allies together and bring attention to the
issue
● Inclusion- send a message of equality and
equity for all women
● Support- gain support financially and
socially from organizations and businesses
who donate or sponsor events
