'It's fantastic to see so many young women reclaiming a word for so long falsely branded as toxic and now using it to assert their fight for equal rights.' Via TRF_Stories

LONDON, Nov 19 - The majority of young women in England and Wales now identify as feminists, according to a study on Tuesday, with researchers attributing a rise in the past year to the #MeToo movement and the failure to stop discrimination at work.

Among women aged 18 to 24 the survey found 67% associated themselves with the term feminist, up 12% from when the question was first posed in an annual women's poll last year. "It's fantastic to see so many young women reclaiming a word for so long falsely branded as toxic and now using it to assert their fight for equal rights," Young Women's Trust Chief Executive Sophie Walker said in a statement.

About 74% said women still face discrimination in the workplace, up from 71% last year, with one in four worried about being fired for reporting sexual harassment.
