Women Empowerment...

             These days there are so many discussions, debates on these topic. Government of India also recognized the importance of  'Women Empowerment' in today's society where each gender is trying to dominate the other in some way or the other. There are people who do not know the meaning of 'Women Empowerment' also started debating and discussing on the topic. The worst thing is that we also tend to follow their opinions and on the other hand condemn them. There is a world saying 'Follow what you preach' but we 'Preach what we do not follow'. Women Empowerment is some thing different than what most of us actually think. It is not just giving them choice of dressing but it actually giving them a way to lead their life in their own terms giving them equal importance as we give to boys. There are woman in this society who are made to crush their dreams and are leading a life like in prison especially in the villages of our country, but when ever we talk about 'Women Empowerment' we talk about choice of dressing, choice of roaming on roads and attending parties etc. There are more serious issues than these like I mentioned earlier. Some of the women in our country are not allowed to study what they wanted, only reason being that they are women. There are women who are not allowed to come out of kitchen and leading their life breathing the warm air of the stove. There are women who face domestic violence at their homes. There is still female foeticide prevailing in our country. Child marriages, Dowry system are still ruling our thoughts in  the form of customs. We tend to forget these major issues while discussing on women empowerment and focus on dressing style, hair style etc. There are women who complain that their parents will not allow them to wear modern dresses and say that it is their choice. We need to understand that your's is just a choice but your parents have the responsibility to protect you and responsibility always has a greater priority than your choice. Women empowerment is giving them protection, importance and equal opportunities in the society to lead their lives. Women empowerment is protecting mothers and baby girls reducing infanticides and female foeticide. Women empowerment is to give her confidence that this society is still there for her and respects her even if she looses her sole mate. Women empowerment is providing them with opportunities in every field. Women empowerment is to show this world that our mother land is the safest place for woman where she can receive respect equal to a mother. We salute our women by calling our country a mother. We salute them by treating many rivers in our country as goddess. Today's generation should understand what actually is women empowerment and its not as easy as to say 'My Choice' but it is a responsibility of every Indian both men and women to achieve women empowerment.
