We live in the 21st century where women have scaled the Mt.Everest,visited space,led nations and thus have excelled in all walks of life.The so called achievements are just a handful of women blessed with the opportunity or achieved it by their determined efforts.Now the question arises as to why only a minority of women have been able to prove their worth?.the answer is the prejudice women have to face even today.In the present day scenario the inequality existing between the sexes is so well disguised that the reality is not revealed.There are umpteen examples in our society where women are severely ill treated and are subjected to injustice.The alarming rates of female foeticide,honor killings,rape ,eve teasing are all remainders of the inhuman trafficking of women . Even in the corporate world there are several instances where men are preferred to women and they also are overlooked during appraisals and the list of oppression is never ending.Women are given reservations,right to vote and to education but all these have led to the upliftment of women only to a certain extent and the situation keeps getting worse.Even in the highest strata of society women are expected to stay under the hood and hence forced to abandon their hopes and aspirations.Thus Women of the current generation need to be empowered and their ambitions must be fueled,thereby nurturing a healthy balance and equality between the genders rather than exploiting and overlooking the subdued sex.We cannot claim to belong to a progressive society unless all prejudices on the basis of sex and all other differences are eradicated.And hence lets all join hands and work towards a world where all such injustice will be history!
