Did
you know that women in India represent almost 30 percent of the labor force and
most of the work done by them in unpaid, unprotected and unaccounted for? Does
that even sound fair?
Because
of their incredible capabilities, women deserve so much more than to get
degraded and insulted and get thrown in the cage of prejudice. We must all
stand up and fight for women’s rights! That’s where women’s empowerment comes
in.
Empowering
women will not only make them stronger but will allow them to make tough
decisions through problems that arise in society. India not only provides
equality to women but empowers them to fight the negative discrimination they
receive.
However,
sadly, most of the parts in India still hold firm that women shouldn’t be
treated as fairly as men. No matter what, they won’t recognize women’s worth
and that’s just unfortunate because you’re forcing down your throat something
raw and hard and eventually, it’s going to hurt you even though the majority
people in India worship female goddesses and give abundant respect to their
mothers, sisters, daughters, and etc.
So what can you do to empower women?
● Encourage them, appreciate the hard
work that they do and give thanks to them.
● Help those women who just gave birth
because trust me, you have no idea what they go through just to bring a new
life to this earth.
● Invest and help female
entrepreneurs.
● Support the women/girls who are
subjected to child labor, abuse, child marriage, trafficking, etc.
● Educate them.
Women
should be treated equally just like men and they must receive the same amount
of justice and fairness. After all, you can’t just make a child with just the
man, can you? You need both the women and the men to have a harmonious and
productive life. Each of them is two sides of the same coin and that’s what we
must hold onto for the rest of our lives.
Women
have been suffering for as long as everyone knows. They have been driven to
domestic violence, harassment, and violations even in governmental issues,
unlike men who are given the easy path to walk on.
Women
have as much of the rights to everything as the men and that’s what we must
voice out! You will be surprised by the overwhelming support of India to empower
women and to give them just as much salary, respect, and honor as men. In fact,
women’s empowerment is fundamental to guarantee the sustainable development of
any country.
So

awareness?
