Empower Women Empower Generation

Women are the most important part of the society,and considered as the most beautiful creation of god. Every year 8th March is celebrated as International Women Day with a determination to commemorate the achievements of women and to acknowledge the special status they deserve in society. But the question is that what difference has it made to the position of women? Have women become really strong and have their long term struggle ended?

 Though women have progressed a lot in many spheres of life but if looking at a wide prospective the situation is still same it has not changed a lot. It is the fact that two third of the 774 million adults in the world  who cannot read is women. The condition of  women in developing countries is worse. Women here are still being ill treated, are the subject of honor killing, they are still deprived of their basic rights of freedom and education and face abuse and violence. In India domestic violence is acceptable to women, and cultural and ethical implications are imposed on their freedom. What does these incident mean? It simply indicates that nothing has changed as a number of organizations are working to mitigate the problems, yet there is a long way to go. 

Women empowerment depends upon many factors such as location,  social and financial status, traditions, cultures and age. Though different schemes such as ICDS , Dhanlakshmi, has been introduced by the government but still India needs to do to improve the position of women in society  in context to health, education, and economic participation of women. Empowering women empowers the generation one educated women in every house can teach many other women and thus the generation.
