Once a powerful force rooted in the pursuit of women's self-sovereignty and rights, feminism now appears fragmented and diluted, caught in the crossfire of partisan debates and ideological battles that often overshadow the very issues it once championed.
WoLF works at the intersection of law, policy, and culture, with structured policy areas that oversee the protection of women and girls from male violence, commercial sexual exploitation, and the elevation of gender over sex. For WoLF, these are not separate battles. They are all part of the same system that commodifies women. WoLF sees an important part of its work as restoring the connections that mainstream feminism has forgotten.
"When you're partisan, you inherit that party's contradictions," says Cypher. "Maybe one policy supports women, but another undermines them. We've seen that play out again and again. Our commitment is to women's interests, not parties or politics."
Radical feminism is not extremism but a return to the roots. A framework that prioritizes women's safety, centers their experiences, and refuses to trade clarity for political convenience. The organization understands that its approach and beliefs may be unpopular in the world today, but its goal doesn't lie in public perception, but rather in action and transformations.
That means asking hard questions, starting with: Where are the feminists?
