Women empowerment has to start at home and then only it can extend to Nation!!

Delivering multiple roles effortlessly women are indeed backbone of the society. Doting daughters, Caring mother , competent colleagues & there are many other roles are played flawlessly and with grace by women around us.

However, they have also been ignored in number of societies in many parts of the world. Which has caused women at large to bear the burnt of inequality, oppression, financial dependability and other social evils. Initially women were living in a bondage that restrict them  from achieving professional as well as personal heights. Initially there role in society was very restricted for only procreate a child after marriage and do all house core and just taking care of child and family, she was not considered as important part of society, women were always consider as secondary to take part in decision of the family as well as society. Although naturally man and women were made equal but over the period of time women have been suppressed, molested and molded by male domination. Recently in my Neighbour a girl was born and there was a deep Greif in the family which astound me completely that in spit of having 70 years of post independence we are still having this evil mindset of gender biasness and this is a situation in CAPITAL then what could be a condition in other states!! In country like India where its major population is rural and primary education is deep concern I find our country not even closure to achieve women empowerment and It is a high time we realize that,  “ We cannot all succeed if half of this world are held back”. Swami Vivekananda Once quoted that, “ There is no chance of welfare of the world unless the condition of women in world is improved, It is not possible for a bird to fly on only one wing.”

Women Empowerment is about participation of women at all front and improving the quality of life of a women. Women empowerment is freedom of women from the vicious grips of social, economical , political and gender based discrimination. Women empowerment does not mean deifying women but it simply means parity over patriarchy. I never advocate women empowerment is about carrying a briefcase to work and work  but about the primitive choice to live life, on her own effing terms. Women empowerment is about having a back of strong women behind you. Its about holding hands and shout out loud what you want from society. It simply about creating an environment where they can take decision of their life as well as for society. Women empowerment is  the social environment where women can live their life with self worth, dignity and respect. It’s about having equal rights for social and economic justice. It’s about having a safe working environment. It’s about to make their own choice and decision.

It is been a very long journey that we have travelled to come to a situation when women empowerment, women role in the society and words like feminism is now finally been discussed and talk about. So next question is  how can we achieve women empowerment??

There are various fronts which need to address to make women empowered. 

1  Women empowerment that simply means equality. Gender equality and equal opportunity, equal rights and obligation. This is a time we realize and develop a culture of equal treatment to women at all front and inculcate a mindset of equality.

2. Education of women that inbuilt a women with life skills so that she can be independent, Higher education so that she can be capable to take part in financial, political and economical front of country.  

3.  Legal & Political involvement, when women will take part in legal and political structure of country  then only women can have access to their basic human rights and create more friendly laws for women. 

4. Economic Strength , when women will financially independent then women is empowered. This will not only influence the decision making at home but as a whole nation it will add to economy. 

5. Most important It is a mind set people as society at large that need to be amend and  with correct mindset we can achieve impossible.it need drastic change in husband wife relationship, with family and with society. 

6. Acceptance by society at large of women entrepreneur, women astronaut, politicians, financial advisor, auto rider, mechanic and all odd job that are predominantly preserved for male but now 

women do it because she can. 

7.And most important empowerment is not that is outside, its within. Its about recognizing yourself. And I believe its not only a women should stand for their rights but also hold hands of the other  women who are need but not able to standup for themselves because unity is strength.   

8. Spread knowledge and its important for all educated people come out of your “ I have to earn zone” and start knowing and observing about social environment and do help, guide support , council uneducated and under privilege women around you. For that I am sharing some govt. Initiative plans please do read about them and spread this information .
