Similar movements?
A similar movement would be the Women Right movement. The movement was created to place emphasis on the injustices that women face. The group sought out to reach and recieve equal rights and better opportuniries for them. Of course, this can been seen in comparison with the Black Lives Matter movement, "Women" were seen as the minority just like blacks were in the black lives matter movement. They both seek to fight for their specified target group.
