Let Us Bring Into Light the Women of Our Country !

This time when I sat down to write an article, my instincts pressed on me to emphasis on Women- their success, problems and their interest in venturing new avenues. The political arena has drawn women’s participation in the political decision making, which plays a very crucial role in the process of enhancing their public life. The 73^rd and 74^th amendments of the Indian Constitution have served as a major breakthrough in favoring the equality of women and the 33.33% reservation of seats in the parliament gives them an opportunity to present their view point on various issues.

We again rub eyeballs with a lot of women in the workplace, which again is a good sign of their prosperity. Also the big gap between the salaries of the men and women are in the verge of extinction. And a lot of women entrepreneurs are booming in life and many women investors are tasting success in their respective businesses staying diligent and their perseverance to achieve shows. For instance, look at Indra Nooyi who is the CEO of PepsiCo or at Carol Bartz who presently is the CEO of one of the biggest search engines, Yahoo. Surveys point out that, women are now starting new companies at twice the rate of men, which is awe inspiring information.

Sexual abuse creeps up as one of the main problems they encounter. This must be strictly taken into consideration with a judicial punishment as it hinders the freedom of women and their progress towards a good contribution to the economic and financial status of the country. Let us all spread awareness on this serious issue giving the women of our country a new lease of life.

Let this brief article serve as an eye-opener for those women who are still under the wraps. Let us capitalize on this International Women’s Day which falls on the 8^th of this month to give our female counterparts the freedom to live high on hog and to fulfill their desires and dreams!!
