Hello friends.....
Today I'm going to talk about the power of women.
In our country, a woman is treated like a mother. In the olden days, a woman is meant only for household works. A woman doesn't have the right to get an education. In those days women are considered a burden, and therefore the problem of female infanticide was on peak.
Whenever a girl child is born in a home it is considered to be a bad omen and therefore killed. Various customs were prevailing at that time to kill a girl child. For example:- "Dudhpiti". Also when the husband of a woman dies she has to perform "sati". Child marriage was also at its peak at that time. So there are such sexual inequalities at that time. I don't understand why all the restrictions and all customs are for women only, why not for men?
Also, the system of Dahej pratha was also prevailing at that time. If the father of a daughter was not able to give dowry then the new bride was tortured and beaten up by the family members. And thus the new bride commits suicide due to the excessive torturing of the members.
But now the scenario has changed. The girl child is given equal opportunity. But still, in some villages of India, the old customs prevail. Many laws are formed against the female infanticide systems.
Girls and boys are not different. Things which boys can do can also be done by girls. We have to give equal opportunities to girls.
Today women are working very actively in every occupation. from bus driver to prime minister women are working very actively. Women empowerment is to make women strong, make them capable of deciding themselves. In India, women's empowerment is needed more than ever. India is amongst the countries which are not safe for women. There are various reasons for this. Firstly, women in India are in danger of honor killings. Their family thinks it's right to take their lives if they bring shame to the reputation of their legacy. Domestic violence is a major problem in India. The men beat up their wives and abuse them as they think women are their property. More so, because women are afraid to speak up. Similarly, the women who do actually work get paid less than their male counterparts. It is downright unfair and sexist to pay someone less for the same work because of their gender. Thus, we see how women empowerment is the need of the hour. We need to empower these women to speak up for themselves and never be a victim of injustice.
There are many ways to empower women. Women must be given equal opportunities in every field, irrespective of gender. Moreover, they must also be given equal pay. We can empower women by abolishing child marriage. The individuals and government must both come together to make it happen. Education for girls must be made compulsory so that they don't remain illiterate.
A successful woman is one who can build a firm foundation with the bricks others have thrown on her...
She can overcame everything which is meant to destroy her....
Naari agar shanka tyag de to svayam shankar ban jati hai....
So, we must have to empower women, respect women, and give them equal opportunities...
