The struggle is real

 


We live in a world where food and groceries get delivered in minutes to home, where artificial intelligence knows you better than your best friend. A world where humans are more comfortable with machines rather than each other, that’s how advanced we have gotten. However, is this enough❓

The world today is different, more like two sides of the coin. One side is developed like the metropolitan cities and other is still struggling like remote areas, however one thing that is common and remains questionable is ‘status of women’. Despite significant progress in gender equality, women around the world still face numerous obstacles like gender inequality, domestic violence, constant judgement from the society and not to forget people questioning our potential.

We agree that there has been decline in the issues faced by women, however decline doesn’t mean non-existent. We are still in a place where few members of the society think one of the causes for the rise in rape cases is the way we dress, Can such people justify when a 6 month old baby gets raped?😣

People question our character when we wear tight clothes or short clothes, but no body cares a damn when men pee on the side of the road or touch their private parts in public, ironic isn’t it?

We women win medals for the country, run million-dollar companies, go through the same training as men in the military and yet the society feels the best a women can do is cook and conceive babies! 

The number of issues that women face is too many, however the solution to these is very simple a ‘Change in perspective and open mind’.πŸ™‡

She has had a load that has stagnated in the chest as if it has become her very blood. Like most women of her age she is a strong and independent woman who cannot be easily subdued. Yet in her, in secret, her inner lady seethed at bitter words ringing in her ears, some said some merely heard demands. She was once young; she used to have dreams, aspirations, and an affinity to the world. But then life happened. Love came its way; she fell in love believing that love would address all the issues. He was a s.o.b, but very suave and flattering and he told her everything she wanted to hear. Subsequently, love evolved into something she never dreamed of until it shook her self-...
