Transcript: Intersectionality Feminism: Feminism: ˈfeməˌnizəm/ noun The advocacy of women's rights on the grounds of political, social, and economic equality to men.

Everyone has had a different experience with feminism, and everyone has their own definition for it. Freedom for our daughters is looking to build a collection of pictures and stories and quotes from people, feminists, around the world, so that we can all get a comprehensive global definition of feminism, and what it means to us. We're looking to break down the walls and stereotypes of the word and the movement, and we're looking for some help Our mission is to build safe housing and schools for girls in developing countries where young women are stripped of their rights simply because they are girls. On a local scale, we foster a safe space for youth to talk about issues surrounding gender inequalities in our monthly meetings.

Freedom for our Daughters recognizes the constant struggle for equality and justice that women all over the world face each day of their lives.

These people can be human beings of any gender, although the ideology is commonly (and perhaps falsely) associated mainly with women. The basic idea of feminism revolves around the principle that just because human bodies are designed to perform certain procreative functions, biological elements need not dictate intellectual and social functions, capabilities, and rights. Feminism also, by its nature, embraces the belief that all people are entitled to freedom and liberty within reason--including equal civil rights--and that discrimination should not be made based on gender, sexual orientation, skin color, ethnicity, religion, culture, or lifestyle. Feminists--and all persons interested in civil equality and intellectuality--are dedicated to fighting the ignorance that says people are controlled by and limited to their biology.

Feminism means choosing who I want to be, not who I should be becayse of my gender Through Rose Tinted Lenses Our Website: http://www.freedomforourdaughters.org/ https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.962531493825733.1073741831.577023649043188&type=1&l=94e3c2f3db Amanda, Haidee and I were selected to be project organizers within FFOD, a youth led and founded non-profit organization. We all strongly believe that feminism is much more than its dictionary definition, and wanted some way to express that. And thus, this project was born. We wanted to collect, share and inspire stories and personal definitions of what feminism means to people, because being a feminist is a unique and passionate experience for everyone.
