Celebrating women's day... from the place where women were placed before to the place where they are today there is lot o1f improvement in a woman's life. None can deny that but it does not mean woman has achieved her freedom to the fullest.
She is educated, employed, earning but has she attained her dignity ? Even today we can see people who say that these courses and work are suitable for women...they can't get into any course or work because she has to be responsible in running a family. Today she serves in military , she serves as a police but I feel women who excel are few. Most women are tied with the responsibility of family maintenance for which she leaves back her dream , her identity.
Even today we hear news of rapes even in girl babies. What kind of society are we living? A woman cannot go out during nights as per her will. She will be raped, murdered, be a victim of acid attack. Even being victim herself only she will be questioned and harassed as why did she go out at night?why did she come alone? Why was her dressing vulgar? All the "wh" questions will be thrown to her inspite of her being victim. The society is not bothered or ashamed about the unsafe situation that it has created for a woman .
She earns her living. She has developed economically but has she achieved economic freedom? She has no freedom to spend her money in the way she wanted especially after marriage even to give a penny to her parents she is being posted with millions of questions by her matrimonial members. This society talks so much about a son's responsibility towards his family all his life and shuts its mouth tight about the responsibilities of woman to her parents after marriage.
The matrimonial homes are places of domestic violence against a woman . She is being put to embarassment with words, she is being burdened with double the work at office, at home ,she suffers deep wounds in her heart with the treatment of in-laws and with all these problems like a ball that raises high each time it is hit hard she tries to overcome her agony and achieve.
Today's modern man unlike traditional men are able to think about women's freedom in terms of their mother, daughter , sister but when it comes to wife their traditional minds wakes up and tries to put her down, dominate her.
And women themselves are in their shell. They like to beautify themselves, they Concentrate on their fairness shade but fail to see they are in dark shade and their freedom is yet a long way.
When socrates of south east asia , periyar was asked about women freedom he told in simple words, the freedom enjoyed by men should also be available to women. He makes it really simple.
With all these problems celebrating women's day as yet another ritual is going to be of no use.
Though miles to be walked by a woman for her freedom may be too long for what she has achieved till date it needs appreciation .
Happy women's day ...
