From the beginning of creation, various appearances of women were introduced with time. Every life is wrapped in a woman-centered relationship from birth to death. We give priority to women in various fields including family-children or education-health. It is said that “an educated mother can give the gift of an educated nation” – but this path of educating women is never easy. The past also has a history of hard sacrifice.
In the male dominant society, we are still driving in our digital country due to various orthodoxy. The painful but ridiculous fact is that the men are proud to see his wife-daughter or sister’s higher education or job in a higher position, but has bad intentions on the woman sitting next to him. Again, men are very interested about his female colleague who spends time at coffee shop and she is talking to, but forgets that female from his family is also responsible for incidents like this. Even if they see a girl riding a rickshaw alone in the evening, various types of bad reactions and teasing takes place. And Facebook bullying and eve teasing is another regular activities of some men.
Women are a separate entity. It has its own uniqueness those cataracts in the eyes of men. There are various arguments for and against rape – isn’t it weird? Married life and rape of women – this is an issue that no educated male society is willing to accept. The subject of will and reluctance is very valuable in the life of a woman. The habit of saying no is not accustomed to a woman from a young age. Only a woman can understand how stupid it is to talk at work. We have received so much respect today for the sacrifices of so many women during our great Liberation war but littl we know about it. It is absurd to think how miserable the condition of a living woman is when the desires of a dead woman have to be acknowledged. Women on the bus-train or from the police station to the madrasas, they are suffering from insecurity and greedy visions due to men in every places. Women also have to accept physical or mental abuse at home or abroad.
At least prostitute’s are far more purer than a bribe-taker, a usurer and an regilious extrimists. At least sell happiness for money.
A woman is abused not only by men, but also in many ways by female members of the family. This gender inequality will be greatly reduced if a boy is properly brought up and educated from an early age on how to cooperate in all other areas including family. It is necessary to change this mentality in order to develop the society and the country with more respect. The combination of respect and love between a husband and a wife is very important. The cooperation of the wife in various activities does not make any man small but strengthens the marital relationship. Lately, the number of old age homes in our country has been increasing at a proportional rate. A special reason for this is the mutual respect and love between the two in the world. A little empathy and sympathy can free the society from the responsibility of this disease. Surveys of some old age homes have shown that the number of women is proportionately higher. But a man is not dependent in any way.
In our society girls are embarrassed to talk about their physical issues. From adolescence to pregnancy various complications occur which affect both body and mind. Many well-educated men do not know about mood swings, especially on hormonal issues. Even if a woman is involved in any profession, at the end of the day, she tries to present herself correctly and appropriately to her relatives, including the needs of other members of the family. On the other hand, a man lives in the house of his father-in-law with the highest respect and care. The woman who changes and expands herself only for the sake of respect and love, it is time for her to get back her own identity with respect not only in the face but also in real life. Women are also human beings – it is very important to keep this in mind.
Why is it so hard to give a woman the dignity of a full human being? Why do we have to tell every year – we are also in this world. Women are a companion in the battle of life staying beside men. They need to be welcomed as a human being. Otherwise, one’s daughter’s enlightened laughter will be blocked by the lustful eyes of other men tomorrow. O men – be human. Prevent the decay of the brain, open the closed door and accept the woman as a human being in all walks of life with the offering of respect and love; The light will come.
Finally, I would like to say in unison with Megan Merkel – “Women don’t need to find a voice. They need to feel empowered to use it and people need to be encouraged to listen.”
