Gender injustice as part of the feminist consciousness

Publication at Faculty of Arts |

Abstract

The presentation will be focused on the issue of feminist consciousness, which is central in forming a collective identity within the feminist movement. Although the feminism abroad was challenged with different issues from the Czech Republic, here is also possible to observe the decline of female participation in feminist movement.

Therefore, the objective of the study is to elucidate the question of how women develop their collective feminist identification and become civically engaged in collective action. Extensive research into framework processes has contributed significantly to the recognition that a major component of the framework for collective action is a sense of injustice, an important motivation to overcome obstacles and achieve social change.

Feminist activists often perceive gender inequalities at multiple levels of private and working life, but on the other hand they see obstacles and problems in areas where they did not have to deal with them personally. Despite the fact that these inequalities do not affect them personally, they feel a high level of empathy and solidarity with women who have to face these problems.

These prepositions will be further detailed in the presentation.
