Woman Empowerment

 Today we are very acquainted with the word empowerment. But we actually don’t know what does it mean. Does this word only belong to our men folk…no, this is very important for women. They need to be empowered, because they sometimes lack the confidence to match their competence or to uphold their rights and values. Woman is entitled to live in dignity and in freedom from all the clutches of society. It is the woman who bears a child in her womb and gives birth to a new life. Moreover she is a good mother, a caring sister, a close friend, a friendly colleague, and sometimes a brilliant Doctor, an advisor, a mentor and of course a soldier. According to Roosevelt, a woman is like a tea bag we never know how strong she is until it gets in hot water. Women are not supposed to live in utter disappointment and in the slough of despond. Under these circumstances women empowerment and education gains utmost importance. In the lion share of the homes in our society woman is considered as a machine, which helps us to meet our daily needs, to wash our clothes, to prepare our meals, to clean our houses and often to maintain a homely balance. Understanding women’s values can help one to see things from a different point of view. They are not for our needs instead they are for their own needs. They are like candles which melts itself by spreading light to others.so give due respect to women. If each and every one of us are able to respect our own mother and sister in our home, then the whole world will be able to respect women.
