Periyar: A Crusader of Women’s Rights

Abstract: Periyar E.V. Ramasamy, also known as Periyar, had a progressive and forward-thinking perspective on women’s rights. He was a staunch advocate for gender equality and believed that women should have the same rights and opportunities as men. There are many key aspects of Periyar’s perspective on women’s rights. Education was something Periyar believed that women should have equal access to. He argued that education was essential for women to be economically independent and intellectually empowered. One of Periyar’s core beliefs was that women should be able to be independent of men in all ways including financially, socially and intellectually. His legacy continues to inspire movements for women’s rights and empowerment in the region.
While Periyar made significant strides in promoting women’s rights and gender equality, it’s important to acknowledge that societal change takes time. His efforts laid the foundation for future generations to continue working towards a more equitable society for women in India.
