- Abstract
The main objective of feminism movements is to make societal changes for women’s rights achieving gender neutrality, improving society into a better place to live for women while they receive numerous challenges. This paper reviews the previous various gender cases and feminism movements worldwide to specifically point out those internal oppression factors toward equal rights movements that come from the group of women. By dividing the factors into the category of consciousness and unconscious one, we find out 1) unconscious factors include women’s lack of female consciousness and the limitations in the feminist movements; 2) conscious factors consist of four parts: nonfeasance which refers to the failure to perform the law, meaningless action, individuals take advantage of equal right movements and harmful behavior. These findings imply that current feminism movements encounter obstacles that are not only from the traditional male-dominant social structures but also internal suppression. If a source of strategy could be established according to this analysis for future directions, then the efforts of feminism movements can move into a better stage.
