Yes, we would consider the Anti-arrack movement as a part of women’s movement to provide a platform for women to discuss private issues of domestic violence:
• This movement focused on issues of sexual violence against women either within family or outside.
• Women joined the campaign against dowry and demanded personal and property laws based on gender equality.
• These campaigns contributed a great deal in increasing social awareness as well as shifted from legal reforms to open social confrontations.
• Consequently, movement demanded equal representation to women in politics during the nineties. Hence, 73rd and 74th amendments granted reservations to women in local level political offices.
• Thus, it can be concluded to be a part of women’s movement.
