It includes needs to establish professional and educational opportunities for women that equal to those for men (Finke, 2018).

In accent time most of the women were close to domestic sphere and men are reserved for public life, it will affect human behaviour the most.At this movement women are not allowed to take part in any public activities, they need to work or perform under domestic sphere which is one of the biggest barriers in human healthcare functions. Feminist movement have campaigned and proceed to campaign for the rights of women's, in addition right to vote, to work, to hold public office, to earn fair or equal wages or pay, to receive high education, to have same rights within any relationship like marriage, to enter contracts and to have maternity leave.

One nation or country does not have all the assets or resources to grow or to become developing country, some extent they need support form another. With the help of good collaboration and interaction one nation will be able to take helps form the other ones which helps to grow more and more.In sociological, interactionism the concept that derive social procedure from human interaction.
