Human trafficking should be the foremost, imo, but today's feminism seems to be going in other directions.
Feminism still has a very long way to go.

I think human trafficking ought to be given much more attention within ANY organizational activism these days. I think feminism is just as guilty as other advocacy groups.
What other directions do you see feminism going?
Unfortunately, I'm seeing large segments of feminism favoring and being driven by political minutia than it is about focusing on basic human rights.
Yeah, and the problem is so pervasive around much of the world, that it's kind of like not really noticing the smell in the air when there's elevated levels of carbon monoxide poisoning. It's everywhere, and it violates so many aspects of human rights, that it's slowly killing us while lulling us to sleep.
I am really interested in reading which are the main issues feminism currently is fighting for and which it is aiming at for the immediate future.
In addition to the human rights issues presented above, as well as others yet unsaid, one thing that feminism definitely needs to address this year, and address it hard and fast, is the misconception that many people have that feminism = man-hating.
As long as that misconception exists, feminism will be ignored by a lot of people its trying to reach.

Embracing the psychology of feminism....
As in Deconstructionist/Anti-Colonial theory....
This is the Feminist perspective I practice in my life.
And a way of embracing the title 'feminism' which is to say 'question the system'...
The system which promotes or side steps many of the issues brought up above.
The perception of man-hating seems rare. More widespread is that feminism is about exclusiveIn addition to the human rights issues presented above, as well as others yet unsaid, one thing that feminism definitely needs to address this year, and address it hard and fast, is the misconception that many people have that feminism = man-hating.

As far as I've been alive, and helping my mother stuff envelopes for the Equal Rights Amendment when I was a little girl, that message has been conveyed and assured and spoken and written and declared by the majority of feminists.
How else can it be addressed? I've found myself in the position of maintaining repeatedly to critics of feminism that I have three sons and a husband in my direct family that I care deeply about and whom I do not hate nor place mistrust. In those threads where I've maintained that position, it's been ignored and glossed over by those who refuse to hear it. And truly believe I'm a man-hater and a misandrist.
