Detailed Solution

The political demands of the feminist movements are Equal Rights, Reservation of seats in the legislature and Equal opportunities for all.
The feminist movement demanded equal rights and opportunities for women as well as their male counterparts in the public and private spheres. The gender division by society divides the roles of women and men, where women belong to household work and men belong to the public sphere, which includes work, political activity, etc. Many women are discriminated against from birth; many families don't want female children; many do not provide education; and many women face domestic violence; unequal wages, etc. Women also don't have enough representation in decision-making institutions like the legislature. Thus, the feminist movements also demand at least 10% reservation of legislative seats.
