Women’s
Empowerment: Need of the Hour !
Gender disparity in the country can be
tackled only through proactive intervention in areas such as economic
empowerment of women, building of adequate social and physical infrastructure
and improving women’s role in governance, said the President.
In today’s contemporary world which is male dominant, women need to gain the
same amount of power that men have. It is high time to forget that men are the
only holders of power. In India, women are still facing different obstacles/bondages
in male-dominated cultures and practices. There is a serious need for revision
of national policy for women empowerment and to safeguard the interests of the
other half of India. Since independents some efforts were made and now I
believe that Indian women are slowly getting empowered in the sectors like
education, politics, the work force and even more power within their own
households with changing times. The value of any civilization can be arbitrated
by the position of women in that society...
Today, women are busy running in the
presidential campaign. The work force is covered with intellectual women who
currently hold the CEO/CMD positions at large companies which were never held
by Indian women in long ago. Now women have reached a long way eventually and
have discovered a new path for them to come. Women rights well talked about as
human rights. The concept of feminism is very vogue. Women’s right and changes
effort to win equality for women have containing women's suffrage, feminism, women's
property rights, equal opportunity in work and education, and equal pay. Now,
the future of women is seeking out.
Indian women is now more confident of
getting better-paid professional jobs than their flagging male counterparts.
Clearly, there is an excellent amount of reason for the girls to be more
confident than boys and this is because of their remarkable academic feat
around the nation be it JEE, PMT or UPSC. This achievement of girls is an
absolute reversal of what would have been expected a generation ago.
But, an upsetting place still remains
for Indian women is the negative sexual attention that women often receive.
Indian societies have received notoriety for being unsafe for women. Our National
capital is now regarded as rape capital of India, this is where empowerment is
needed the most. Whereby the fair sex is not only being hassled and raped but
incidents of immoral trafficking also are very high in some parts of our country.
Worst part is this business is running under the nose of the Govt. In one of
the daily headlines 70 girls from north-eastern India were rescued in the
national capital, there are thousands waiting for our Govt to wake up. Add to this the heinous practice of female
feticide and infanticide wherein nearly 10 million baby girls have been killed
in the last twenty years alone. In fact, the level of atrocities against women
is an indicator of the erosion of our society (its a understatement) and
underscores that we are a suppressed society. Clearly, safety is an obsolete
word in today’s India.
It is the duty of law enforcement
agencies to prevent crimes against women but they fail to solve this alone.
Teamwork by people is the key to eradicating this mess. People must come
forward to help in rooting out such social evils. Law enforcing agencies cannot
work alone. When the people are dynamic in their drive against crimes, the
police cannot remain a mute spectator though they are supposed to be the
protectors of citizens. They will be forced to dispense their forgotten duties.
Youth should be motivated to be socially responsible and protect women. This is
the need of the hour. Everyone must think of changing society. If we all abide
by the rules, women in our cities will surely be safer.
According to Hindu mythology, the word
‘Ardhanarishvara’ meaning "The Lord whose half is a woman". What is
the value of a man without a woman? We shouldn’t forget that there are many
temples in our country devoted to the Goddesses and men also use to visit the
temples for worshiping them. We need both male and female each other. We must
work all together and both needs each other to survive and flourish, no one is
absolute.
I do think that women should also be in
place of man in today’s society. As they are now highly qualified, make
remarkable contributions to the economy through their paid work. They work in a
wide variety of professions around the country. They have now forsaken their
homely image and are making a major contribution to global innovation of the
country. They are working in different fields with man by doing hard work.It is
said that women are the pillars of the economy of the world. They have the most
imperative role in the family who keep it together. A campaign by Farhan Akhtar called as MARD(Men Against Rape and Discrimination) is a great initiative towards spreading awareness about gender inequlity and rape through social media.
