Other social movements Sample Clauses

Other social movements. Research demonstrates that activists are often involved in more than one social movement (Xxxxxx et al 2008; Xxxxxxxx et al 2012) and this is supported by the findings of this case study. The young women were engaged not only in feminist activism but also in other forms of activism such as anti-racism, disability rights, LGBTQ activism, environmental activism, animal rights, left-wing politics and student politics. Some had been on the student demonstrations against the tuition fees and involved in the Occupy movement, particularly when it had taken place on university campuses. The schoolgirls, as well as setting up ‘Femsocs’ in their schools, were engaged with school Amnesty groups and, in one school, a gay rights society.
