Wondering whether dedicating just one day in the entire year is sufficient for women? Isn’t every day a woman’s day? All around the world, for all the women, it’s a great struggle to be a woman in this male-dominated world. And if she’s able to live safely every day, come out winners, then it’s really a great achievement and calls for celebration.
Safety begins at home and it’s a time for celebration for a woman if she feels safe, loved and pampered in her own family. Sadly, till date, not all women can be considered safe, loved and pampered. There are still a handful who have to go through everyday tortures from dominant fathers, overbearing brothers and abusive husbands. A few who have to go through eve-teasing and much more than that in the society. So, the day we have a safe environment for all women, will actually be the true Women’s Day.
Till then, it will just be a great achievement for few individuals to live with a drunkard father all throughout the childhood and come out unscathed. It will just be a great achievement for few to struggle for her individuality among her uncooperative brothers and find an identity of her own. It will be a great achievement for a privileged few to find the right partner in life and be the apple of his eyes.
Unfortunately, I have known women who dread going back home.
The day a woman is able to smile after a hard day’s work and look forward to get back home to safety and love and a lot of pampering; will actually be a woman's day and that will be her real achievement.
