Women’s day is near on 8th
march. Basically what is women’s day? It is really necessary to celebrate
International women’s day? If anyone asks me then definitely my answer will be
yes it is very necessary to celebrate women’s day. As women’s are important part
of our society. Everyone should always take care of women’s right and always
give respect to every woman.
When we talk about the origin of women’s day first time concept of women’s day
was started on 28the February 1909 in the United States or we can say the idea
of an International women’s day was inspired by America’s National women’s day,
declared by Socialist party of America. Just after one year the Socialist
approved the idea of International women’s day. So the next year in 1911 it was
first International women’s day celebrated or it is also known as International
working women’s day.
There was a time when working men thought that they can easily bear all the
responsibilities on their shoulders alone. They think they can easily deal with
the world alone without their women folks. But this is not always happened as we
always heard behind every successful men there is a women whether she is mother,
daughter or wife but there is always women’s important contribution behind men’s
success.
In our society basically gender discrimination is always present. Men always
think themselves superior over woman. But there should be always gender equality
and ensure that all women and girls are able to lead lives of dignity free from
violence, and discrimination, including discrimination based on stereotypes. All
women and girls should have equal access to quality education, employment,
housing, equal participation of women with men in decision making process at all
levels, health, irrespective of race, class, income, immigration status or
involvement with the criminal justice system.
This is the responsibility of a man to take care of women’s rights. Women’s
rights around the world is an important indicator to understand global
well-being. Yet, despite many successes in empowering women, numerous issues
still exist in all areas of life, ranging from the cultural, political to the
economic. For example, women often work more than men, yet are paid less; gender
discrimination affects girls and women throughout their lifetime; and women and
girls are often are the ones that suffer the most poverty. Women and girls
around the world are still married as children or trafficked into forced labor
and sex slavery. They are refused access to education and political
participation, and some are trapped in conflicts where rape is perpetrated as a
weapon of war. Around the world, deaths related to pregnancy and childbirth are
needlessly high, and women are prevented from making deeply personal choices in
their private lives. Human Rights Watch is working toward the realization of
women’s empowerment and gender equality protecting the rights and improving the
lives of women and girls on the ground.
Many may think that women’s rights are only an issue in countries where religion
is law, such as many Muslim countries. Or even worse, some may think this is no
longer an issue at all. The biggest problem facing women today is not the
opinion of man, it is the opinion of woman. When women can harbor anger,
resentment, or jealousy for those who call themselves feminists, we have failed.
When women who consider themselves feminists begin to look down on men as
inferior or undeserving, we have failed. When women can make each other feel
unfeminine or wrong for being strong and successful, we have failed. We as women
have caused stagnation in our own society by being apathetic and uninformed.
Women’s issues cover all aspects of what it means to be a woman. It means
examining the subjugation women have endured and attempting to understand it. We
must learn to celebrate our womanhood, our bodies, our beliefs, and our power.
It is important for each woman to find a safe place to talk about her femininity
and her connection to the larger world of women. Finding sisterhood and
embracing it are a big part of women’s issues.
