Abstract
Men and women should have equal political, economic, and social rights, according to feminism. Even while they support equality, feminists insist that it must be practiced in its substantive, not merely formal, sense. Since decades, women have fought for their identities and rights; perhaps there will never be an end to this fight. Their efforts were not in vain, though, since there has been a significant improvement in women's status compared to then. Several female activists have committed their entire lives to bringing about these improvements, some of whom have also perished in the process. Feminism is a dedication to eradicating the idea of dominance in society and reorganizing it so that people's self-development can take precedence over imperialism, economic expansion, and material desirers. It is not merely a fight to abolish male chauvinism. Feminism in India is greatly influenced by the legal system. To protect women from the unfairness they experience from society, new laws have been enacted and thousands of feminist groups have changed and amended existing laws. The analysis refutes the notion that gender-specific rules already in place for women violate the fundamental right to equality and should be changed. Laws that are gender neutral do not make any distinctions regarding the gender of the offender or the victim. These regulations apply to everyone, regardless of gender. There aren't many laws that are gender-specific, but those that are usually apply to women in situations like rape, domestic abuse, and so forth.
