The definite collective global post on women empowerment
based on the question
Why women are important in today`s world
Pooja Sheth - Bangalore
A woman is important not just in today's world. She has been important since time immemorial. She has been the medium through which the Almighty manfiested himself to destroy the evil and make good triumphant. Be it Kaikeyi in Mahabharata, Mother Mary in the Bible or Mariam in the Qur'an.
Today's woman has adorned the same role as she did centruies ago. The difference is never in kind. But may be in degree. She is natures wa of maintaining a balance between the brain and the heart. If a man is said to be logical and think. A woman is sensitive and emotes. Like everything else that is natural, needs a balance as per nature's law. She is equal to and balances her male counterpart in all phases of life.
It is the sky she wants to,
Not just reach, but bring back with her
Just a wee bit taller if I was she thinks..
I could conquer you..
She finds her tree.. with one foot on the root
...With the other on the highest branch,
She leaps and grabs a chunk of the sky.

Can you imagine, Anil, your world without Laila's laugh ? It would be a sad and boring desert..
The times when a lot of women are allowed to use their intelligence only to serve men and family must finish. The world needs intelligence of all human beings ! It needed, it needs, it will need, forever.

Hi, All,
ReplyDeleteI just finished reading a biography of Eleanor Roosevelt by Russell Freedman. It was selected as a Newbery Honor Book by the American Library Association.
Mrs. Roosevelt, the wife of President Franklin Roosevelt, was empowered by her wisdom, grace and her warmth. She worked tirelessly for decades to improve the world, and with great success. She met with powerful leaders and was, in fact, a world leader in her own right.
She fought for civil rights when discrimination was still law in parts of the U.S. She was a special envoy for peace while working at the United Nations. Though she came from a privileged background, her life was spent helping those who most needed help. That's what makes women powerful - what makes women empowered - the drive to make the world a better place.
As I was reading about her trips abroad to promote peace after World War II, I kept thinking how different the world would be if women ran governments at all levels. I think we'd see a more compassionate world, a less violent world and a more loving world.
She was a remarkable woman who led a difficult life, yet overcame her own personal insecurities to travel the world helping make it a better place.
That's true empowerment.
Best to all my friends in Wayanad.
