Women empowerment

Women Empowerment essay for promotion related


In the past, women were treated as mere slaves. As they belong to the weaker sex, men used to keep them under
their thumb. They were denied freedom. They were kept like dumb cattle within the four walls of the house. Indeed,
they had no rights. Their most sacred duty was to obey blindly.
Though the conditions in the country are fast changing, yet woman are still treated, in some respects, in the same
old way. There are still people who feel happy in the family when a female child is born. Even an only daughter is
supposed to be a curse for the family.
Our country is changing politically, economically and socially, at a swift speed. The condition of woman is also
gradually changing. They have begun to take their due place in free India as is evident from the following facts.
In free India, woman cannot be kept as sheer domestic servants. They have to play their vital role in the
development of the country. That is why more and more girls are getting education. No distinction is now made in
matters of education between boys and girls. Educations are bound to give them place of honour in society.
Our constitution has given equal rights to woman. No distinction has been made on the basis of caste, religions or
sex. Their rights have thus been safeguarded. Reservation for woman in state assemblies, parliaments and the upper
house is apt to be enacted in near future.
Many a woman has begun to occupy high position in the life of our country. There are a number of lady ministry and
deputy ministers. Besides this, women are taking to the professions of doctors, nurse, teacher, lawyers, engineers,
judges, etc., in an ever increasing number. Today there are woman who are competent police officers. Now there
are woman in the military, navy and air force also. This clearly shows in which direction the wind is blowing.
Also Indians girls bagged two beauty crowns in 1994. sushmita sen won the Miss universe title and aishwarya rai
bagged the miss world crown followed by Pryanka Chopra. More recently, women have proved their mettle by
begging Olympic medals in Rio Olympics.
From the above brief account it is evident, that the place of woman in free India is becoming more and more secure
with the change of times. She can no longer be dominated and driven like dumb cattle by man. She is on the march.
She is now an equal partner in her family. Her future is bright.
