Educate to empower

Women face many challenges in society. I read reports of harassment of women and wonder where have they reached now? Since women are equally contributing to make a better family life, the continuous suffering of women is a shame for our society. Their role and achievement over the years make us think of the importance of their contributions towards taking care of families and children. Yet, I feel that women haven’t been able to reach the heights they should be at. I wonder, why should they always be restricted from getting equal rights as men?

Let’s always fight for women’s rights and help them improve their level of knowledge. It is our duty to educate the underprivileged and give the rights they deserve.
