Must be wondering how?? As you read below the unanswered question shall be served.
There is an age old saying in India, “Where a woman is respected, there divinity blossoms”. Sadly in today’s scenario we see thousands and millions of women’s life at stake physically, mentally and financially. It was a law laid down by the Supreme alone that it should be a woman who builds the future. How? She is the one who carries that little being from a very minute stage in her womb, nurturing and protecting in her own bosom to keep him away from all the evils and perils of life till he comes to a stage of independency. The children are the future and it is only through the way of a woman that a child comes into this world.
But the most unfortunate part is, our society considers a woman to be a second grade citizen and have so many crimes done against them. Our country has come up to a stage where being born as a woman has become a curse. Even the literacy rate of a woman is 56% when compared to men i.e. 76%.
Due to the oppressing society customs and values, the effect is to be seen on the woman negatively.
- Even before that tender bud is blossomed, she is forced to marry ultimately making them widows. According to UNICEF, more than 47% of the girl child are married before the age of 18 in India.
- Due to illiteracy, they are forced to be confined to stay at homes doing their chores and making them oblivious about the issues happening around them.
- Sexually abused from a very young age and the majority of them are abused by their very own people. Eve teased once they reach a matured age.
- Dowry harassment, domestic violence, kidnapping, trafficking are some of the brutal crimes done against this burden- bearer.
- They suffer from biased and unfair judgments in terms of inheritance and divorce.
- Such is the disgrace situation of a woman in today’s world especially India who is attracting attention the most in the various crimes and the helpless situation of a woman.
ROLE OF “YOU”
It is outrageous to see this future maker in such a dilapidated and disowned condition. If “you” who’s reading this is public spirited and has a heart made of flesh to protect and empower this very creature God has given to mankind to empower and build generations, there are few things listed below which can make you one among those few who believe in humanity and showing gratitude and love and care to that very creation without whom we wouldn’t be able to see this world-A WOMAN!!!
- Bring awareness by communicating with people about the issues to be taken care. Personally communicating with others has a huge impact on the minds of people.
- Be a member of clubs and organizations who support such thoughts.
- Campaigning and distributing tracks or pamphlets illumining the minds.
- The Bible says, If you are not in a situation to go somewhere, support and send those who are willing to go.
In the same way support and help organizations like us who are willing to help these people become self- sufficient and independent through the various woman empowerment schemes we came forward with.
Let us all come forward, join hands and make this world a better place to live in.
