Women Empowerment
Women’s empowerment is a new phrase in the vocabulary of gender
literature. The phrase is used in two broad senses i.e. general and specific.
In a general sense, it refers to empowering women to be self-dependent by
providing them access to all the freedoms and opportunities, which they were
denied in the past only because of their being women. In a specific sense,
women empowerment refers to enhancing their position in the power structure of
the society. The word women empowerment essentially means that the women have
the power or capacity to regulate their day- to- day lives in the social,
political and economic terms -a power which enables them to move from the
periphery to the centre stage. In India, we believe something very strange like Cow as ‘Gaaymaata’,
The River Narmada as ‘Narmadamaata’ or Ganga as ‘Gangamaata’. We worship and
respect them. But the question that we need to ask ourselves, do we really
believe in them?
From the Ancient time there is discrimination
between Men and Women. It is constantly believed that Men can work better than
Women. Now-a-days, time gets changed. Women are proved to be the best, only
awareness is deficient. There is no
doubt that we are in the midst of a great revolution in the history of women.
The evidence is everywhere; the voice of women is increasingly heard in
Parliament, courts and in the streets. While women in the West had to fight for
over a century to get some of their basic rights, like the right to vote, the
Constitution of India gave women equal rights with men from the beginning.
Unfortunately, women in this country are mostly unaware of their rights because
of illiteracy and the oppressive tradition. Names like Kalpana Chawla: The
Indian born, who fought her way up into NASA and was the first women in space,
and Indira Gandhi: The Iron Woman of India was the Prime Minister of the Nation,
Beauty Queens like Aishwarya Rai and Susmita Sen, and Mother Teresa are
representative of the condition of Indian women. Women need awareness and
motivation to make their stage in society. In 21st century Both Men
and Women are equal. To give voice to them there are many Women’s club and
community runs. Even you can find it out on webpage. There are many websites
specially made to enhance the expertise of women. Even on Zee TV, There are
many serials which are based on Womanly contribution like ‘Mera
Naam Karegi Roshan’ & ‘Aagle Jaanam Mein Mohe Bitiya Kijo’. Writing on
women’s life or about women is eternally a central idea to get complete
awareness; with this we can develop our country. It is believed that if women
are well-built, one can make his or her country incredible. One mother can teach well her son or daughter the lesson of
dignity of women.
