Womens activism

Thinking back to the suffragettes and suffragists movements, what can women do contribute in a unique way to map activism and community?
It doesn't map directly because the suffragettes were fighting for their own rights and were willing to die for them, who wants to live with no rights or freedom? But this is a cross gender issue and as a woman I often think about how can I fight for change, not just for me but for men and women maps.
I'm very much in the pro-c camp because it's a fundamental human right to me for adults and children. The right to say yes or no to sex is as fundamental as the right to food, water, shelter and non-violence. Denial of those rights is an act of violence against maps and children.
But when I come here and I know this is true for some other women at least, it can feel hard to know how to contribute. There are so many very intelligent people, mostly men, doing incredible work and discussing deep issues, and I just think "how can I really contribute?".
So my question is how can women contribute to this movement? Is there anything we can bring to this fight and community that's unique or easier for women? Do we have any superpower we can offer?
It is important to me because I don't want to go through life thinking there's no hope of ever being with a young girl I strong affections for. The frustration never fully goes away although I control it very well. I've had young girl friends I've been close to but never crossed a line even if my body has been screaming to. There was one girl who was very openly expressive towards me how much she wanted a physical relationship. We were close to each other when she was 7 and by 8 she would flirt and make passes very often. She would masturbate in front of me and ask me to do it which I didn't and I would tell her to stop. One time I found her naked in my bed, she had gone there and when I walked in she asked me to join her, if possible, she was more horny for me than I was for her. But I told her to dress and stop doing this. She was frustrated and didn't like my rejections, I don't think it did her confidence any good, and I was frustrated and eventually just stopped seeing her because the frustration was too strong. I don't want to live forever in a world like that.
