Feminism in Senegal

Feminism in Senegal became prominent in the 1980s with the creation of Yewwu-Yewwi. A second wave in the 1990s was more individual and pan-Africanist. A third wave in the 2000s and 2010s was more intersectional, accepting both the LGBT community and the wearing of the hijab, and extensively using online social networks.
