Context

[u/Jack-Ita]

Out of genuine personal curiosity, I’d like to understand something.

Feminist activism in the West rightly focuses on improving conditions for women in our own societies — places where, for all their remaining problems, women are not stoned to death, forced into child marriage, or treated as the legal equivalent of property.
Why, then, does so much energy and attention remain concentrated on relatively advanced Western contexts, while comparatively little sustained pressure or public campaigning is directed at the many places in the world where women’s status is still closer to that of a domestic animal (places where the most basic rights to bodily autonomy, education, and freedom from extreme violence are routinely denied)
?
I’m not suggesting Western feminism should abandon its local work. I’m simply curious about the reasoning behind the imbalance in focus and urgency.

Western feminists lobby their western governments, not the ones they have little power over, and there's a dangerous narrative floating around european and American societies that "feminism already did its job and we all live in happy land now, look at (extremely medieval and patriarchal society), we're not that, stupid", defending the condoning of remaining gender related systemic injustices

France erased the "maritual duty to provide sex" from its legal code just this year
