pro-woman
Advocating for women
Pro-woman means supportive of women's rights, interests, and advancement.
The term appears in discussions of feminism, workplace equity, and reproductive rights: a pro-woman agenda, pro-woman policies.
It can signal alignment with feminist goals or, more narrowly, advocacy for women without necessarily adopting the feminist label.
