Feminism is again becoming more and more popular in recent years, especially among the younger generation. To further encourage this trend and to give young feminists a boost for their efforts towards a more equal and just society, we created the Wall of Young Feminists.
Young feminists who have addressed a gender-related problem, taboo or myth, who have worked for a gender-sensitive society through actions, opinion pieces, videos, projects or other tools get a place on this wall as a sign of our appreciation and support. We hope that these young feminists can be an inspiration for the next feminist waves and for society as a whole.
Do you know/are you someone who should not be missing on this wall? Then be sure to let us know.
