Activism refers to "a doctrine or practice that emphasizes direct, vigorous action, especially in support of or opposition to one side of a controversial issue."In the activism for Violence Against Women (VAW), the objectives are to address and draw public attention to the issues of VAW as well as seek and recommend measures to prevent this violence. Many scholarly articles suggest that the VAW is considered a violation of human rights, as well as a public health issue.
To better comprehend movements against VAW, there is also a need to understand the general historical background of feminist movements in a holistic manner. Many feminist scholars have categorized these movements into three waves according to their different beliefs, strategies and goals.
The emergence of the first women's movements, also called the "first wave" of feminism, dates back to the late 19th and early 20th centuries in the United States and Europe. During this period, feminist movements developed in the context of industrialization and liberal politics, which triggered the rise of feminist groups concerned with gaining equal access and opportunity for women. This wave marks a period of "suffrage, independence, rights to nationality, work and equal pay" for women.
The second wave of feminism was a series of movements from the late 1960s to the early 1970s. It was described by feminist scholars as a period of women's liberation and the rise of a branch of feminism known as radical feminism. This wave of feminism emerged in the context of the postwar period in society, where other mainstream movements also played a large role; for instance, the civil rights movements, which meant to condemn capitalism, imperialism and the oppression of people based on the notions of race, ethnicity, gender identity and sexual orientation.This wave marks a period of equal rights at home and in the workplace as well as developmental rights for the purposes of people of different races, ethnicities, economic statuses and gender identities.[citation needed]
Third wave feminism is the newest wave of feminism, led by young feminists whose understanding and context are of the globalized world order and the technological advances that have come with it. This wave is a transition from the fall of communism to more complex issues of new kinds of 'warfare',[clarification needed] threats and violence. This new wave also "embraces ambiguity and introduces a feminist approach of 'intersectionality' that includes the issues of race, gender, age and class. Other than that, the third wave marks a period of feminism dealing with identity politics and body politics, as well as the issues of violence.
