Happy International Women’s Day

Women are an inherent part of our society and cannot be neglected due to their less power and authority. They are created as a companion for men and men have to make them walk in the course of life. Man and woman have to be rightly compared to the wheel of the same carriage. The carriage cannot run properly if one of the wheels is defective. So, women have an integral place in society. It is often said that “An educated woman has direction. She has hope. She will become a mentor to other girls and she will change the world base on her innovation and potential. Women are our mothers, they don’t need to be humiliated in society, but rather work with them constructively.

 As a mother, her position is unique. She brings up the child with extreme care. The first education of a child is the lap of his or her mother. It is quite true that great men had great mothers. Napoleon said, “Give me a good mother and I will give you a good nation”. Women are always subjected to violence and them never given basic rights for the proper educations and freedoms. They are the victims who face violence and abuses in the male-dominated country. A woman needs to be empowered instead of treating as a helpless victim in society.

The negative perception of women as weak and fragile creatures responsible for childbearing is derogatory and null. Truly, a society with empowered girls is developed and peaceful than a society with male chauvinism perception. Women have a potential and dynamic role to play in the virtual building process of our country. Empowering women means empowering the nations. This empowerment is best served through rapid economic growth with social change. Our mother has a place in society to be a great contributor to changes. The wave of realization of women's power is massive and fruitful. There are no tools for development more effective than the empowerment of women in society. Women have a great place in society to contribute.
