Is born as a female comes with baggage? Has our society created such a divide where women have to suffer? From birth till death, she has to live in fear and insecurity? How can we get over this divide? Is equality, feminism just thing for the media and PR? The fear, insecurity gets fed from the early days. Brother is always right, and a husband knows best for the family? Why a mother, sister, or wife has to surrender and treated an inferior race?
When well-read, successful women in our society are living with such fear and insecurity. It will not be difficult to imagine how bad the situation would be in a remote part of Bihar or Madhya Pradesh or Jharkhand. The pre-pregnancy test still gets conducted, abortions are still happening and, women are married to a man because her parents have no money to feed her.
“We keep hearing charity begins at home”: have we observed how we treat our kids differently?
If our society continues the way it is, the only male will be left inheriting this planet.
