March 8 is International Women's Day. It was a coincidence that two days ago, I heard a well-known and successful woman entrepreneur expressing her views on Women's Day.
In response to the question, she was asking the question – do we celebrate International Men's Day. Do we celebrate being a man? If there is no such day for men, then why for women. Celebrating International Women's Day means that we consider women to be weak and backward.
There was a lot of applause on his statement and the interesting thing was that most of the people clapping were men. The women were a little confused, a little hesitant, unable to understand which side they should be on. Towards those men who believe that women have got all the rights and equality or towards the fact which is the truth of their life.
Out of fear of being left behind and alone, out of fear of being considered weak, out of fear of not being included in the group, they all started clapping, but while clapping, she was wondering when and how it happened that hundreds Freed from the clutches of years of backwardness, they were made to stand equal to men.
Because the truth is that 80 percent of those women did not get any share in their father's property. His brother remained the heir of all the land-property, house, bank balance and family business. (If in doubt, check the data of land and property records.)
Despite working for years, performing well in the office, she could not become the head, CEO, editor. Leadership roles have always been men and still are today.
Women started working outside the house and contributing to the economy of the house, but the responsibility of household chores, child care and care giving did not leave her behind.
In a place dominated by men, women got a minor share, but in a place dominated by women, the man got the title of being a great man by making breakfast one day and taking care of the child one day.
Men just need to show a little kindness and the whole society breaks down to give that man a certificate of greatness. Women serve, work by breaking their bones, but no one says how great they are. She is just doing her duty.
Not only did this story of everyday life not change, the statistics of UN Women, World Bank and World Health Organization also did not change the statistics of violence against women. The strange thing is that as time is progressing, the graph of violence is also moving upwards.
The data of the World Health Organization says that every third woman in the whole world is a victim of rape and violence at the hands of men sometime in her life. Every four minutes a woman in the world is getting beaten by a man.
