India has started an all-woman political party called the Womanist Party which will work for women's employment, social security, environment, health and human rights.
Party president Varsha Kale says, "We are not feminist; we are the womenist and we believe in womanism. The final announcement of the party's programme will be announced at its statewide convention in April."There will also be a youth wing called "Indian Girls Federation."
It's not clear what the difference is between feminism and womanism. If anyone knows, please comment. The article doesn't give much guidance.
