Social problems faced by women

Women of today’s generation are facing a lot of problems, both physically and mentally in their day to day lives. If we look at the statistics we can see that these problems are increasing at a steady pace in recent four to five years. Men alone cannot be solely blamed for all the problems as women of today’s young generation too are to be blamed. But, it is time to improve and protect every girl child and stop them from getting harmed in the clutches of some evil people in our society. Let’s take action together. So, here I am highlighting some major problems faced by our present women community.

Education:

Women education has been improved compared to the past decades. Even though a lot of women are still fighting to get their primary education, many are fighting for their higher education. All over the world most of the women, especially in villages, are not aware of the value and importance of education. It is said that educating a girl child is similar to educating a family, in turn, educating the nation.

Child marriage:

Most of the NGOs’ and the government are constantly raising their voice against child marriage. But, still, there are so many child marriages happening all over the world. It is very common among the uneducated parents on the village side. They fail to acknowledge the problems of the child (girl child) which she faces after getting married at a very tender age. This has to be stopped or at least reduced by taking necessary actions.

Dowry or bribe:

Dowry or the bribe giving is a never ending problem. There are so many rules and regulations available out there in the name of protecting the women. But, still, a number of women are suffering from this dowry and bribe torture in our society. I see some men who marry a girl only for the dowry and not for the life and love. They see women as their profit and a money machine.

Sexual harassment:

According to a result of WHO, 1 in every 3 women is experiencing sexual violence in their life. Daily in the day to day life, there are so many women out there facing sexual problems in schools and workplaces. Most of us see or read at least one news daily about a woman or a girl being sexual harassed. With so many regulations and acts of the government, the rate is increasing day by day. Parents on seeing and hearing these they are afraid of sending their girl child out.

Employment opportunities:

Everybody talks about women empowerment and equality but when it comes to employing a candidate everybody wants a male candidate. Even if a girl gets selected for a job either she will get a lower salary than a male candidate of the same designation or she will be ill-treated. Being a civil engineer and a girl, having a good knowledge in my field despite, these most companies rejected me because of my gender.

Are all these fair? Absolutely no. We can’t change all the problems in a single day. But with a good heart, we can stand together and do something in empowering our women.

    • It is really unfair for women to be treated that way. They should keep in mind the very important role of women, and that is conception. There are also great leaders who are women, so why not give them the equal opportunity to show their potentials? They should be treated equally with men.

    • @acelawrites Rightly said. Even though there are so many awareness programs being conducted still women have not acquired the equality in the society. Still, a girl child is seen as a burden in many places and cultures.
