EMPOWERING HERSELF
She has become stronger by the shackles put on her: bolder by the early experiences of silencing her . She will break her shackle and come loud and powerful .
'Women empowerment ' is the ringing term in India since the Delhi gang rape has been reported.
What is women empowerment ? Empowering women physically by teaching them karate or other martial arts ? Filling their bags with mace and pepper spray ? No, but making them mentally and legally independent , instilling a feeling of confidence in themselves.
Have you been able to break off the shackles of patriarchal society yet and give or women their right and share of happiness? Not yet. They are still bound by the primitive claps of religious and mental customs holding them down from fulfilling their dreams and aspirations .
Women can be empowered only by making them aware of their mental strength , legal possibilities available to them and by including in them a sense of confidence and independence . They should be able to sustain on their own , realize their dreams and become self reliant .
Women empowerment can be attained not just by bringing a change in attitude of women but also in men . Men must be able to accept women as they are not as mere commodities . Men should support and encourage women by creating a safe and secure environment for her .
Women are not helpless mute beings on earth but the most powerful and stronger ones . She has become stronger by the shackles put on her: bolder by the early experiences of silencing her. She will break her shackles and come loud and powerful . Yes , this is the empowerment we need , helping each woman to come in to light and fight for justice .
