Unraveling the 'WOE' from the Woman

Its Woman's Day Today.
The papers are splashed with articles about women-empowerment,the feminine go-getters,the 'must achieve it' personalities who have been there and done that.
The media is going gung-ho about women emancipation and the massive improvement in that sector.
All for one day..
The stories get buried to emerge only on March 8th next year.
The papers will continue publishing their gory dowry harrassment,female infanticide stories from tomorrow.
Does this mean that tomorrow is yet another Man-day?
Should not this be a topic for thought cum action through out the year instead of just one day ?
I think it should..
What we need is a collective,concentrated effort to drive home the point that women do have the liberty to choose,point and lead a good life..
The situation is much better in the middle class segment..But the lower classes still function the same.
The women here are still uncared,unconsidered for.
Its time they woke up to the fact that we are no more just an offshoot of all the problems men face..
Why should our roles be always defined in context to some..
We are so much more than a daughter/wife/sister/mother to someone.
We have a voice,we do have a say.
The only thing we require is the freedom to say it..
We need an awakening of sorts.A revolution which is one of its kind.
And what better way to start this than by practising this in our own humble abodes..
Baby steps will do the trick.
House maids,kitchen helpers,vegetable vendors,flower sellers..
Help in bits.help just a bit..
Listen,share,inform,educate..
Join the army..Lets make India truly shining and bright..
As always happy Living.. !
