Women-as the word is uttered,
there comes different picture of them
and different thoughts about them in the minds of men, for one it might be his mother,
for some their daughter and for some their sister. But what comes to the mind
of the arrogant human beings who harass women every day? Have these
perspectives of women ever come in the minds of those? Such an harassment which
took place at Delhi recently for a twenty three year old daughter of India who
had lot of dreams and commitments shook
the whole world, after suffering for thirteen days she died.
Can anyone suffer more than her? The monstrous contours of the
attack and the multitude of lapses that allowed the bus to drive around South
Delhi undetected while Amanat and her friend were being battered drove
thousands of students and activists to the streets.
A girl with her own ambition and
wishes is now no more just because of six men. But why those ambitions went in
vain?
Is it her fault that she was born
as a girl?
Is it the fault of government as
everyone say now?
Is it the fault of those six
brutal men?
Before thinking of these faults
it is the right occasion to think on the ethical values that must be considered
for women.
Where the world vanished which
saw woman as god ?
Where are the people who worship
them?
Is there a country without women,
is that possible? Then how come such rude things happen in this society?
It is the wrong thought about
women that they inferior to men make such incidents!
“Women should be respected as well! Generally
speaking, men are held in great esteem in all parts of the world, so why
shouldn't women have their share? Soldiers and war heroes are honored and
commemorated, explorers are granted immortal fame, martyrs are revered, but how
many people look upon women too as soldiers?...Women, who struggle and suffer
pain to ensure the continuation of the human race, make much tougher and more
courageous soldiers than all those big-mouthed freedom-fighting heroes put
together!” ― Anne
Frank, The Diary of a Young Girl
we should not forget that history
in a witness to the women who have in the past demonstrated unique leadership
capabilities. Razia Sultana, Rani of Jhansi, Sarojini Naidu and Indira Gandhi
are motivation examples of women empowerment. Earlier, most women were able to
demonstrate the leadership qualities only on their home fronts, as in Indian
society man has always acted as the master of the scene and the decision
regarding the issue of empowering women has always been taken by him. God has
gifted women with compassion, tender-heartedness, caring nature, concern for
others. These are very positive signs which imply that women can be leaders.
Though some women have shown their mettle yet a large number of them have to
sharpen their leadership qualities in various ways. In order to help women to
be in limelight, they need to be empowered. Therefore, empowerment of women is
the prerequisite to transform a developing country into a developed country.
The economic empowerment of women
is a vital element of strong economic growth in any country. Empowering women
enhances their ability to influence changes and to create a better society.
I would like to conclude with the
following words, "Women as the motherhood of the nation should be strong,
aware, alert and as well as destructive to those men who influence them in
wrong means ".
