Join us for a thought-provoking discussion on the distinction between feminism and equality. Are these concepts truly synonymous, or do they diverge in significant ways?

Key points of discussion:
1. Exploring the various definitions and branches of feminism, from waves to different ideologies.
2. Analyzing whether the core tenets of feminism are universally applicable or if there are valuable insights to be gained from its diverse forms.
