Women are born Free

Women are no slaves in this society. They have their own identities and self-respect to live life in their own terms. Torturing women, beating them has become a regular feature in the world since ages. In this male dominated society, women are believed to be pawns in the hands of greedy selfish husbands or relatives.

There are thousands and thousands of untold stories everyday, of women dying in pain and agony. No one is there to pay heed to their words or bring them justice. In a country like India where majority of people live in villages, there asking for any betterment of the girl community is treated as something highly extravagant and sheer ‘non-sense’.

However, if the picture in rural areas is like this, then the cities and metropolis is no exception. Here, everyday, unlimited number of girls is molested and physically and mentally abused. And, what is more shocking is that, in many a case, they are manhandled by their own relatives and persons they know and have grown up with.

Today, women are increasingly becoming a target for harassment in both public and domestic areas. In public places, such as in bus, trains or simply on the road, girls have to move carefully or else some cruel eyes are watching you to get the better of you at any time!

Another area of torturing women is at home. Whether it is some uncle or brother, man-handling continues relentlessly. With marriage, girls think of some better life in the house of her husband, but only handful lucky girls get to see that. In other cases, women end of their life getting everyday beating and mental exploitation by their in-laws. They beg for some peace and happiness, but all in vain, since the in-laws want more money and dowry from the bride’s father or else random oppression goes on.

Sitting in this 21st century, we are witnessing so much development in almost every field, be it science and medicine, education and technology. But, in one way, we, women are stuck in that dilapidated old-age, where mental and physical harassment was a regular feature.

At present, women are dominating and actively participating in every aspect that was initially believed to be falling within the male vicinity – going to the space, flying a plane, climbing the mountain or exploring the unknown zones of the earth. Girls have become and always were mentally head-strong and brave-hearted. We never feared the tough and moved elegantly with great determination and love for something new and different.

Women of today are crossing every line gracefully, balancing home and work. On one hand, they are showing their love and care for the family and on the other hand, they are simply rocking in their workplace, understanding their duties and performing likewise to earn appreciation from seniours and the management.

I am proud to be a woman and will always be. Hats off to those who are fighting courageously every day, every moment and adding more strength and will power to their existing self.
