The International
Women’s Day is celebrated on the 8th
of March every year. This day commemorates the movement for women's rights. This
day makes everyone realise the importance to respect women and look up to them
as a symbol of strength and dignity.
Decades
have passed and this world has industrialized for better. Major advancements
and developments have made, having lasting impacts on the way we lead our
lives. However, we as a community lag behind, as far as our orthodox mind-sets
are concerned.
Provocative and misogynistic texts still continue to offend large groups of women. Our country India, for example, has rural and backward areas where women aren’t treated with fundamental rights that every human being deserves. Rather than ensuring freedom and liberty to women, they are treated in brutal ways. Women’s safety even in so called ‘Metros’ in India is questionable. Today, no girl in Delhi dares to walk alone on the road after sunset, due to high risks of perils and insecurity.
62
million girls are denied an education globally. Over
history, women’s rights have been fought for through years of violent protests,
marches and case studies displayed through modes of media. Known figures such
as Malala Yousafzai have made immense contribution to women’s laws and rights.
So India, let us fight for women’s
rights, it’s high time women in India need to speak up for their rights. If we
do, this world will be a much better place to live in. I hope a day will come
when every brother, husband and son will get up and wish her sister, wife or
her mother ‘Happy Women’s Day’ even if it isn’t 8thof March
