The WAD come to existence as result of three main feminist movement dealing with females daily issues. the one was introduced by the issues which women suffer from on their daily bases such as sexual violence, the women were fighting for equality as they wanted to take part in the process of vote casting and political world. this approach apply to feminist in South Africa as females fight issues such as sexual violence which lead to GBV ( Gender based violence) movement. women fought to be involved in political world as it was male dominated industry even to the present day in South Africa.

WAD come to existence in 1975 from Mexico city, it focuses on female issues in neo-Marxist perspective and the depedency. women fought for themselves to be economically free and not to be undermined in the economic perspective, females wanted equality in terms of capital and materialist things. the development also apply in South Africa as females still fight that women  should earn the same amount of money as males in the same space of employment and be allowed to work in spaces which were  considered as male based duty.

GAD was developed by the social feminist as it serves a change point in the manner in which females has the understanding of feminist approach. it take comparison between the authority which is rated upon females and the males, it also apply in South African context as women would like to be treated equally with males and there should be difference in authority.

the post development and modern feminism has its roots issues on the perspective that females are always on the receiving end of the male products and work, they perceive women as the takers and the people that are always in the site of being weak.
