Indeed a woman’s essence
lies in her innate ability to care, love and sacrifice for the other. She plays
an all-enveloping character of a mother, daughter, wife and sister as a friend,
nurturer, guide and partner from time to time. Emotional and vulnerable,
sometimes erratic, sometimes serene, she displays a wonderful range of emotions
from being patient to being extremely courageous in times of crisis.
Tormented and subjugated
throughout all times and ages, women have fought their way through
exploitation, harassment, and have managed to secure their rights in the public
domain. In spite of continuing exploitation and injustice against women both in
the domestic and work sector today, several milestones have been achieved in
terms of education, freedom of choice and liberty, equality etc. With growing
literacy and financial independence women feel more empowered today to assert
their right to a life of dignity and self worth. The International Women's Day
celebrated on 8th March is a universal day for all women around the world. It
endows them with a sense of honour, dignity and self respect for being the
person that they are. This day marks a celebration of the economic, social, cultural
and political achievements made by women over the years.
