Institute in Borivali (west), “Envisage Institute of Design”
Established in 1911, International Women's Day is a major day of global
celebration for the economic, political and social achievements of women past,
present and future.
It is a day in which women from around the world unite
in thoughts, prayers, struggles, hopes and dreams.
Women's accomplishments in education, business, science, art, medicine, public
service, athletics, and every other field have
made our world better and stronger.
Empowering women in India is very necessary
to bring gender equality or we can say that gender
equality is very
necessary to empower women.
Gender equality is the first
step to bring
women empowerment in India.
Men should not understand that women are made only to handle
household chores or take responsibility of home and family.
Instead, both (men and women) are responsible for everything of daily routine.
Men too need to understand their responsibility of home and family and all
other works women do so that women can get some time to think about themselves and their career.
Women should also
identify their strengths and abilities, and move towards a world of
empowerment. On the event of Women's Day, let us all promise to create a better world to live in.
International Women's Day honor’s the women who have paved the
path towards our progress and struggled to take 'womanhood' to a level where it
is now. Unfortunately, at the same time, the day is a reminder of the discrimination and
inequality that still continues to plague
our society. This special day,
dedicated to women around
the world, is a celebration of the great success of women across
all spheres of life as well as shaping the future.
The objective of Women's Day is to express love and
gratitude towards women's' contribution to our lives and society. It honor’s
the power and struggles of women who have broken all barriers and reached
the pinnacle of success in every sphere of life. Today,
women across the globe actively participate in politics, education, social
work, corporate, sports, IT, research & development, innovation and diverse
fields, and have left their footprints.
Several resolutions to protect women's
rights have also been passed globally, which has opened up broader avenues
for the growth and development of women in our society. Women's Day also celebrates the role of women as a daughter, a wife, a mother,
a sister and a homemaker. The day honor’s
the voices that go
unheard, the rights that are dominated and the tears that go unnoticed. Even
today, there are millions of women around
the world who are either speechless or are struggling hard to secure their rights. The discrimination
and inequality is still very prominent, especially in developing and backward countries.
Despite all pessimism International Woman's Day is a special day dedicated only to women and their role in our lives. Culture
and ethnicity has given a new dimension to this day where the tradition
of gifting presents to women is popular in some countries. Personalized gifts
and greeting cards dedicated to Women's Day have become exceptionally popular today. Many people think
it is the ideal way to express
their love and gratitude for women in life. Though,
the true essence of the day lies in identifying the rights and power of women and giving them a
stature that they deserve.
We can encourage the ladies at our home, our mother,
sisters, and wives to pursue their dreams and excel in their career. A
wholehearted support, be it however trivial, will boost their self-confidence
and will have a transforming impact on the women's way of life. They can only
come out of the pathetic situations that we humans have created.
We remember some of the most inspiring women on international women’s day
(IWD.)There is no force more powerful than women determined to rise. Indeed,
there are so many strong and dedicated women around the world. Some of them are
Cleopatra, Joan of Arc, Maria Theresa of Austria, Florence Nightingale. Mari Curie,
Coco Chanel, Frida Kahla,Mother Teresa, Rosa Parks, Margaret Thatcher, Anne Frank ,J.K. Rowling ,Malala Yousfzai,Li Tingting
, Laxmi Agrawal and so on.
The youngest person ever to receive a Nobel Prize, Malala Yousafzai advocates for women's
rights and education around the world. As a young girl with a passion for
school in Pakistan's Swat Valley, Yousafzai
voiced opposition to the Taliban's restriction of girls and women for years,
gaining recognition in the media. In 2012, she was shot and seriously wounded
by the Taliban at age 15. Her fight for human rights has become an
international movement through the Malala Fund, her bestselling autobiography, titled “I am Malala”, and an Oscar-nominated documentary titled
He Named Me Malala.
At the age of 16, Laxmi Agarwal was on her way to her first music lesson
in New Delhi,
India, when a 32-year-old man whose
marriage proposal she had rejected threw acid on her. After three months in the hospital and numerous surgeries, Agarwal wore a veil for eight years to cover the damage to her face until
the courage of Indian rape survivors inspired her not to hide her face.Today, Agarwal campaigns for the regulation of acid sales in India and for affordable treatment for survivors of acid attacks.
Today we honor:
The women of the past:
those who stood
up for change and fought for the rights
that we live
and enjoy today;
The women of the present: those who are in this room today
and those women around the world who use their voice to help make our world a
better place for women; and the
Women of the future: those who will continue to champion women's
voices, to break barriers and keep visible women's achievements and plights.
In conclusion, we celebrate the IWD once
in a year to take
more advantage of the potentials and talents of half of the humanity and not just seek
to concentrate gender equality in principle. On this auspicious day (IWD)
we celebrate the women in our lives.
They are the corner-stones of our communities working
tirelessly and making countless differences in the lives of those around them.
