Everywhere a woman is praised these days as a festival of Navratri is going on…. India is currently observing Navratri with all excitement, people are worshipping the nine manifestations. Women are said to be a form of Goddess Durga in all her forms.
The woman had always put others' needs before her own, but don’t you think disrespecting and creating violence on her for 356 days and worshipping her for 9 days is just a ritual that people are following?
On the other hand, woman's safety has become a big issue all over the world, especially in India where women have to think twice before speaking, or stepping out of the house.
Violence against women had hold them back in their growth in personal as well as professional life these days. The research shows that every year the growth of violence against women is increasing by rapid force and per cent.
We talk about AMBITION but where the word is used for women it is taken as negatively, Why are we lacking behind only in the safety of the woman as a society?? Is society only created for men and women are just taken as a minor role in society? Why are we so quick in judging Women and not Men?
We shame a woman if she is not married, divorced or too ambitious. We say that the success of one woman should be an inspiration for others but no we don’t do that we just shame each other why so??? We believe that getting married to the woman is a backup plan for her if her career doesn’t work.
