An international perspective on the resurgence in feminist movements: the advances and the setbacks, the challenges and the contradictions

We were supposed to be in a 'postfeminist' age. But recently we've seen a resurgence of feminist campaigning among women (and some men). There's a new brand of feminism: young, socialmedia savvy, militant. But there's a new kind of backlash, driven by socalled fundamentalists and by increasingly overt misogyny. 

Nikki van der Gaag is an independent consultant and writer who works primarily on gender. She is the author of The No-Nonsense Guide to Women's RightsFeminism and Men, and the State of the World's Girls reports published by Plan International.
