Being a woman is one of the things I
love the most about myself. I think women are blessed with infinite
abilities, strength, and wisdom. But in spite of all the greatness that women
are capable of, life is too much of a challenge to let them live the life they
would wish to live. If they are not juggling between being a mother, spouse,
daughter, or employee, they are warding off menaces in the society, in form of
an abusive spouse, heartless children, lurking predators or an unequal society,
all the while trying to protect themselves. So the need is to empower ourselves
so that we may have the courage to stand up for ourselves and make a difference
in the lives of people around us.
Nothing empowers a woman better than
education. Education lifts not only the woman but also her family. Education is
not restricted to the books alone; she needs to be educated about her rights,
as a woman and as a human, educated with skills to make her independent, educated
with tools to protect herself and educated to learn about and make decisions about
her health. With knowledge comes power; the power to think for herself. With power
comes confidence; the confidence to stand tall, confidence not to be afraid,
and be brave in the face of adversity, to be heard and to be counted. So I wish
every woman is empowered…..
I wish every woman is empowered with
infinite strength,
So that she can rise from the ashes like
the mythical Phoenix,
And soar to a new level of existence,
Unfettered by things that held her back
so far.
I wish every woman is empowered by
infinite courage,
So that she knows what it means to live,
To
express her desires and needs,
To make her dreams a reality,
And live the life she has been created
to live.
