International Women’s Day is celebrated worldwide- rejoicing cultural, societal, economic, and political feats of women. Here is a very interesting fact about colours: Purple, green, and white are the flags of International Women’s Day. Purple signifies justice and dignity. Green symbolizes hope. White represents purity.
International Women’s Day has occurred for well over a century, with the first gathering held in 1911. The day also marks a call to action for fast-tracking gender uniformity. Significant activity is witnessed worldwide as groups celebrate women’s achievements or rally for women’s equality.
This day is noticeable yearly on March 8th. International Women’s Day (IWD) is one of the most imperative days of the year to:
- Rejoice women’s feats
- Raise awareness about women’s equivalence
Women have a unique feel to live life as a female. It’s not a story of one or two pages. We need to touch a single movement of our life. A woman from a different diaspora is playing a great role as a human being, mother, daughter, sister, and so on.
I have faced lots of problems due to patriarchy in my life. I faced most problems while getting my education till then. Since today, I never let the patriarchy affect my life, and I become a liberalist. I am challenging patriarchy in every single moment of life.
Here I would also like to shed some light on other women. Some giants are there to stop them from their identity and independence, such as:
Patriarchal Society: Indian norms based on Manusmriti have been accountable for the disparaging position of women in the post-Vedic period.
Shloka 5/167 says, “Any woman violating duty and code of conduct towards her husband, is disgraced and becomes a patient of leprosy. After death, she enters the womb of a jackal.”
Shloka 9 of Chapter 3 says, “Since women are not capable of living independently, she is to be kept under the custody of her father as a child, under her husband as a woman and under her son as a widow.”
Demotivation: Whenever any woman wants to create her own destiny, so many people are there to discourage her. ‘How can you do this?’, ‘You are not able to do this’, ‘You can’t do that’, and so on. But think about the birth of a child, which is a more difficult task if she can do it easily and lovingly, so why can’t she perform all the other roles of the outer world.
Self-Doubt: Since childhood, girls have been demotivated by lots of people around them, they might suffer some psychological problems. But trust me, all these are very tiny in front of your power; your strength believes in yourself and go ahead in your life.
There is some quick fix that is helpful for everyone to make life more eloquent. Everyone is blessed with skills. We just need to analyze those skills and then grow in that direction.
Art and Crafts skills do not require a degree or formal education. Most of us can do many things during summer vacation, the skills required for project making. Most students and parents have a time crunch, so they need someone else who can help do the project based on creativity and crafts.
Homemakers to be proud of being a homemaker, millions of women have been suffering from the disease of inferiority complex, which we need to eradicate by our self-reliance and confidence. They are serving humanity as a deity by their cooking, laundry, and care of ageing parents.
Always take out some time to upgrade your skills.
Computer literacy education: Computer training has become an integral part of our day-to-day life, which does not require a lengthy education process. We can train them with minimal education qualification.
Time management: Time management is the key to success. Divide your time into a variety of tasks like your responsibility, hobby, skills. I always prefer my daytime to learn something new rather than taking a nap. which filled me with pleasure, and I feel active and refreshed.
Watching the news on a global level is also a good step to keep you upgraded with the global arena and all the knowledge and skills which broaden your mental horizon and take you away from today’s chaos and stress.
Accept your perfect body without comparing yourself with others. And last but not least, always celebrate your beauty and being a lady. Like pearls always covered in shells, diamonds are always found on multi covers.
