The present study aims to analyze the current feminist actors, organizations and debates around gender equality and feminist perspectives in order to create an overview of feminist ideas and actors in the country. It shows that Feminism today is the constant questioning of the world we perceive and the boundaries we encounter. The more we understand, the more we are able to build a narrative for change. There are innumerable new energies arising from different positions transforming the feminist field: new contestations of patriarchy, and new contestations of the normative feminism itself. Along with traditional women�s movements the study highlights the new groups that have arisen. Not all of them like to be called feminist, but they definitely are equally humanist in paving their ways to achieving social justice.
