Feminism is a belief that every gender is equal and should be treated with respect. Fortunately, gone are the times when people would mourn over the birth of a girl. Nowadays girls are achieving milestones in every field. They are given opportunities to build their empire and they are building too.

The world is changing. After giving respect to the identity of women, they deserve, we are moving toward changing the mindset of people about transgender. This is what the actual meaning of Feminism is – treating all genders equal be it male, female, or transgender.

Also, as a woman, it is your responsibility to know your identity and always believe in yourself.
