In this paper, I present the development of feminism as a social movement for the realization of women's rights and for the equalization of women's rights with men's rights. The feminist movement advocated and demanded its demands through four waves. After the end of the Second World War, the feminist movement in most European countries, both in the West and in the East, experienced a rise after women won the right to vote. In this paper, I also discuss how the feminist movement in Croatia developed and which areas of advocacy are recognized as central by current Croatian feminist activists. On the basis of semi-structured interviews with three contemporary feminists, I conclude that the feminist movement in Croatia is continuously expanding its activities, so from today's point of view we can observe its influence on the reconfiguration of the power position of men in the family and society and the protection of women from gender-based violence; for example through the initiative #spasime; for the preservation of women's reproductive rights, up to the suppression of sexual harassment in educational institutions through the activities of the #nisamtražila movement.
