"EQUAL ACCESS TO EDUCATION, TRAINING AND SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY. PATHWAY TO DECENT WORK FOR WOMEN" - Theme for International Women's day 2011.
It's pathetic that even in these era of rapid advancements and modernisation...we women has to still struggle, remind or else beg for our 'right to live peacefully'. For long time we are the victims of inequality and gender discrimination. None of them have given definite reply for the question 'why its so?' Like a custom or as a curse...women's life and peace is still at the mercy of others.
In these time of celebrating 100 years of women's achievemen, if we notice around the world we can find something is changed and everythng remain unchanged.
All are saying men and women are equal,then why cant it be practical?
Who said that women are inferior to men?
Why cant she travel alone?
Why she is unsecured everywhere?
Why dowry becomes a villain in her life?
Why she alone always raise her voice for peace and security?
Just look into whats happening around in our country. Each day new stories and in most of them women are the victims! Lots of Indian brides are burned alive due to lack of dowry. Women as a wife have been cruely tourtured by families....many including women believe that women exclusively belongs to home. She is divorced on silly matters and for remarry grooms finds no difficulty, but for a bride its hard at certain times. Women are raped and killed even at home. No woman can travel or walk around alone....against these some are asking 'why should she travel alone in night?' Oh...let me ask what is wrong in it? Its the duty of mankind to provide her security at every walks of life and rarely some do it for her. I know blaming earns nothing and we have to do it. I wont say that woman are always right but its cruel when some argues that she deserves less from her life. There are many women in renowed fields.
The battle for women's right is not a phenomenon and many laws are also there!! Look into the recent Sowmya's tragedy,for many days many renowed personalities and obviously medias too celebrated it well with discussions and now nothing is heard. I appreciate all for their initiative and atleast it had made all of us to think for a while about a woman and her security in different phases of life but i wish a change in attitude rather than condolence. There is law bt nothing happened. If that 'bastard Govindachamy was given punishement immediately ,none will have the courage again to shatter the dream of a women. I cnt understand 'why our laws are not implemented effectively? Whats the restriction? Judiciary is also in changing phase. Most of problems of dowry, harassments, torturing etc against her can be brought to an end if 'law is effective. We women deserve more than your mercy and its our right.
Women want freedom to live and it does not meant to live as a man but as a women itself with respect,rights, peace and honour. We want security to live, behave, speak, travel etc etc. We want equality in every walks of life....
If the world goes like these, i guess a prophet has to come or a miracle from God that leads us to peace and also for a secured life!! We all want to see something happened to secure us than false promises !
A word to dear Women...if you want to live...find and raise your voice. If you think speaking may ruin ur peace,the fact is that silence will worsen it much more ,so speak out and do something. No one can save you...so be careful and dream for a day of peace and freedom for whole women community. Stay united and be powerful..
