In the late 19th century, the women’s movement occurred in many developed countries. It is said to begin in Western societies and then quickly spread over the world. During the movement, women fought against inequality in education, employment, reproductive rights, etc. Their uprising was the inevitable result of such a long period of being subdued. The victims of the temporarily old society were not only women from poor families but also from all the social classes not permitted to express their own ideas. To these people, life seemed to last endlessly without freedom and joyfulness. Therefore, their reaction was considered as the revolution in recognising their contributions and narrowing the huge gender gap between males and females. The victory of the feminist movement gave birth for the new era of independence, liberty, and happiness for all women globally. Since then, women have legally gone to school, chosen their career, and been admitted to most social institutions and organisations, which had been considered extremely luxurious things for them. Although gender inequality has been substantially reduced over the past decades, there are still a few places where women do not have their entitlement, young girl children are completely illiterate and mature ones cannot work and receive payment as equally as men. How to help them to be released from the culturally regional oppression is a very tricky situation. However, it is believed that this issue is going to be resolved soon.
