Period Poverty In India And It's Causes Period poverty is a term used to describe living in conditions of severe shortage or lack of basic necessities, such as food, shelter and clothing. It is an issue that disproportionately affects low-income groups and those who are socially marginalized. There are a number of factors that contribute to period poverty in India. One major culprit is economic inequality between rich and poor sections of society. In recent years, periods have become longer due to increasing global warming effects – meaning there’s been an increase in extreme weather events which can cause sudden reductions in agricultural production or lead to natural disasters (such as floods), which can leave communities with little access to food. Another factor is the country’s high levels of illiteracy and poor educational qualifications, which mean that many people are unable to find work or earn a living through conventional means. As a result, they are forced t...

What Is Feminism? Feminism is a social movement that began in the early 19th century and continues to this day.

At its root, feminism is about gender equality, not "sameness." Many individuals argue that because women aren't "the same" as males, there can't be equality.

It's all about equal rights and equal access to opportunities in this case. To enjoy the right to equality, men and women do not have to be physically identical.
