Woman is the most powerful and the most pious human being in this Universe. Women in our country are worshipped as goddesses and its not in the present context but from the ancient time. Our country has always been the land of various mythological beliefs and in those times our women folk was much more courageous , had valour and at that times were known for their beauty and bravery. But the misogynistic thinking of men was very much prevalent from that period . Our society was very much male dominated. With the passage of time the outlook also began to change but not that much as it should be.
In a country like India there are various social taboos which we women have to face and come across almost every day. In our country educating a woman regarding all the basic aspects is still a far cry due to social conservation. All the women across various countries have to face the pathetic situation and its only because of the lack of basic amenities due to which women feel contemptuous. But as we see the world is moving on the path of development and progress, the things regarding the empowerment of a women are increasing at a high pace. India is a country where these issues are slow to come up due to various factors like illiteracy and other social taboos. Women in India are considered to be hovering around and doing all the domestic chores and fulfilling all the duties of her family and in this compromises her dreams and passion for other fields. Talking about the issues like child marriages, it s a great menace for the society and can be found in certain parts of our country , girls get married during their child phase only, other issues of menstrual hygiene is still far cry for our country woman folk. A woman during her period is not allowed to enter kitchen, worship and even said to sit and sleep on the floor because a woman is considered to be impure during these days and this is preposterous. But unfortunately this practice is quite prevalent in our country. Even the basic sanitary pacs are not available in rural India, this is because of poverty. They use cotton clothes which is quite unhygienic and gives a nasty feeling. There is also the common notion that a woman has to hide all these happening to her body but it a natural phenomenon and this thing seems to be very outrageous. A population of a country is only prosperous when its gives rights to its women folk.
There is a high percentage of women dying due to use of cotton clothes during her menstrual cycle. Female feticide is yet another pervasive practice in India. Female is considered to be a burden on its kin. A female child is not wished at the time of her birth due to reasons like dowry female trafficking, rapes. To avoid all such issues people avoid birth of a girl child. There are various stringent laws by which a woman can get equal rights as men . Illiteracy is the biggest factor affecting the life of women badly especially in rural areas. Its due to orthodox way of living and mentality of the people. A women if educated is independent and could live on her own rules , but due to conservative society these things are still considered as a big issue. If a woman is educated the whole nation is educated as various generations are produced though a woman only..There are superfluous aspects in which a woman is bound , but has to get out of it and achieve something in her life. Talking about feminism is still a wider term in our country and always taken in a wrong manner.Its a common notion that a woman is only a material to be kept inside the four wall of a room and a serenading thing to the people. But woman is quite susceptible of doing every task with great patience and perfection.
A woman can be empowered in many ways provided she is given opportunity in all spheres, various vocational training must be given to the women folk so that they could earn a living on their own will power and tenacity .Govt should take some measures to control various heinous crimes against women and provide all the basic materials of sanitation and hygiene to women at less and affordable costs especially to remote and rural women. Women can also to be educated through various educational programs conducted through NGO’s or by various Govt. persons and officials and women should also participate enthusiastically. Now it’s high time to come of the conservative thinking and let women shine in every sphere of life.If a woman is truly liberated then a nation could become powerful.
