INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY

Women's Day is celebrated throughout the globe on 8th March every year since 1975 as per the directions of the United Nations organization. The day is marked to appreciate the remarkable contribution of women to our society.  They have been helping men ever since their creation.

A woman is a mysterious creation  who has  a power to create, nurture and transform the lives. She is a center of love, sacrifice, care and ability to take care  of life. She plays different roles with easiness like a dutiful wife, obedient daughter, caring mother or adoring sister.  

Women since time immemorial had powers to bring a change. Women fought with all odds to emerge as a winner. History is stuffed with examples of courageous women like Lakshmibai, Indira Gandhi, Hellen Keller and so on.

Women now are more empowered and aware of their rights and the society has accepted their stand. The society is changing and paving way for the growth of the women. The changes can be seen in the fields of education, healthcare, equality and job opportunity. The new decade has seen a marked change in attitude towards women at large. Women have made strides in every field like politics, space exploration.

Even though women were empowered, they have been targeted by a part of our community. They are victims of molestation, domestic violence and social indifferences. When we turn the Newspapers we can see at least one news everyday about the injustice done to women.

What shall we do to overcome this?

Is it enough to celebrate International Women’s day every year?

No!

There should be drastic change in our attitude towards women. We should raise our voice against all types of odds.

Let’s honour the life, grit and determination of women.

Let’s give hope to them that we, Men stand for their safety.

Let’s not keep silence when we see injustice done to women.

Let’s wish the women of India health, happiness, safety, success and continued

progress as well as prosperity
