WOMEN EMPOWERMENT

‘There is no tool for development more effective than women empowerment’ .I  guess this very term(women empowerment) is used so often that it has become more of a cliche. Women empowerment is something that the whole world today is concentrating on.  Have you ever thought  about why do we emphasize or talk about empowering women or why do we celebrate women’s day? Don’t you think that this day wouldn’t have come into existence if women were empowered? Its really heart wrenching to see the atrocities against women that don’t seize to stop.. In the 21^st century where we are becoming technologically so advanced where humanoids are being developed, women are still not safe. It’s a shame for us! The number of rapes, female infanticides , domestic violence are increasing day by day. This really , makes us think whether we are developing ? we are moving forward but crimes against women are also on the rise!we have reached to an extent where we are beginning to stereotype colors as pink being for girls and blue for boys and moreover why are rules made for only women ?

The real definition of  Women empowerment is not just about asking for equal rights but to make women empowered economically, socially and education wise. Education is he most powerful weapon and I think if all girls are educated we may be able to successfully eradicate illiteracy from the world because when we educate a women we tend to educate the future generations as well. Being educated will make women economically strong.

That day I was watching a particular  Indian t.v serial and suddenly there was this scene where the girl gets caught by some goons and guess who saves her?  A male character of the show. So that time a thought crossed my mind. Why do we need someone to protect us all the time? Imagine giving self defense coaching to every women and empowering them to protect themselves wouldn’t that be just great? This in the real sense will be empowerment.

According to me empowering women in the true sense will be when all these stereotypes are demolished and a society is built where in women and men together hand in hand help to break this barrier of social inequality.a society where not just women but men as well contribute their parts for empowering women . A society where sexism is no longer existent. If this takes place dear friends then we will have women empowerment in the true sense!
