‘Yatra Naryastu Pujyante, Ramante Tatra Devata’. This famous Sanskrit Shlok translates to ‘Where ever a woman is respected, honoured, God will reside there’. Sadly, this is no more true in present India. It’s shameful that women in India face such atrocities even though we have such a rich and ethical culture. It’s time women all over are given the same dignity and respect they once had. Rather than further going on about the problem which everyone is already aware of, lets for a change look at some probable solutions to help bring a difference.
I believe the first and foremost step towards empowering women is education – not only to females, but males as well. This is because education is the light that chases away the darkness of a narrow minded human. Thus it’s not enough to only educate the female, but male as well and to instil in them from a young age about gender equality and moral values. As a result of this, society as a whole forms contemporary opinions and becomes ethically strong.
Another step that might bring some changes is to generate as many jobs as possible for women. Having a job gives them a sense of independence and boosts their confidence. They learn to deal with the outside world and to stand for their ideas and opinions. Instead of getting involved in dirty politics based on comments and false promises, the government should start working hand in hand and bring about a change in this society deemed unfit for women.
