Being living in 21stcentury, we are still fighting for the women’s rights. Have
you ever felt embarrassed about it? Isn't it a bit distressing?
For years, women have fought for their rights, but we are still unable to cope
up the circumstances. Women are still subjected to gender prejudice. This is
completely absurd! Isn't that so?
Why are women thought to be inferior to men? Why there is such disparity between
men and women in every aspect of life? Yes, we are aware that men and women are
not on an equal footing. They are dissimilar in terms of physique and mentality.
But when it comes to rights, they are equal.
Talking about the rights does not mean that they should be considered as a head
in every phase of life. However, it actually means that women should be allowed
to live freely, to speak freely and to do whatever they want. Women should be
entitled to education, they should be entitled to marry a person they love.They
should be granted the freedom to make their own choices. They should be allowed
to follow their own passions.
Women are capable of accomplishing their dreams & desires. Women’s are thought
to be inferior, yet this is not the reality. They are able to coexist. They are
passionate and ambitious. They have their own dreams. They just need the
permission& independence to fulfill it.
Women, too, are unappreciative of the passionate girls. They despise the
successful female. So what can we expect from a man? This is unpleasant, but it
is the reality with which we must deal.
I am not talking about the bookish things that I have read, but this is what I
have seen my friend is experiencing such biasness. My friend is not allowed to
get education after the matriculation. The reason is that she is a girl and she
must marry a person, do thehouseholdsand look after the family. What about her
ambitions? What about her dreams? It hurts… that living creature keeps many
questions in her mind that are left unanswered. She feels that being a woman,
it’s her mistake to have dreams.
Why is it that the birth of a girl is regarded as a curse?? Let me explain why.
Woman is regarded as a helpless specie. Men think of themselves as superior.
They have the ability to do anything they want. Because females are required to
leave their homes after marriage, they will notbe able to assist their parents
in the future. Boys, on the other hand, will remain with their parents for the
rest of their lives. Have you ever considered the same scenario from a different
perspective? What if sons abandon their parents in favor of their marriages or
other interests? Or what if women support their parents even after their
marriages.
Why women are imposed to do each and everything that their parents want. Why
can’t they share their own perspective regarding the life they are living? Why
womencannot even select a life partner themselves? Why women are forced to marry
a person whom they do not love. The reasons behind all these questions is the
society. In the society, it is not acceptable.
“IF MEN ARE THE HEAD OF THE SOCIETY, THEN WOMEN ARE THE NECK OF THE SOCIETY”
It means that without the neck head cannot move. Women are the crucial part of
the society. They should get the equal opportunities in life. They should be
provided the freedom. They should get the rights to share their opinions and
viewpoints.
Gender inequality affects not only women, but the entire country. Pakistan is
lagging behind the times in comparison to other countries. The developed and
progressed countries consider women as the leaders. They consider them as the
important part of the society. In the economic development of many countries,
women played a leading role. Due to the conservative and narrow thinking,
Pakistan is still an underdeveloped state.
In order to eliminate this discrimination, we will have to change the mentality
of ournation. This can only be achieved by broaden the way of thinking and
giving opportunities to women around the country.
