"When you grow up, you can be whatever you want to be"


"When you grow up, you can be whatever you want to be."well this is the most common dialogue heard in the society!!!!!!but the most pulling back issue about this is people consider this apt only to boys whereas girls are always reminded of"WHAT NOT TO DO",this is a common scene in developing countries.people! let me remind you society includes women also!!MALE CHAUVINISM creates remorseless cycles of discrimination!!!Now this is a call to all those girls-stop feeling pity !!"Don't let our identities to be forged" and "Don't let any one to declare you as second-rated"!!!
Gender discrimination has lately taken ugly forms like(mostly in developing countries)

  • Female infanticide
  • Physical abuse
  • Sex trafficking
  • Depriving of education
  • FEMINIZATION of POVERTY(yes this is true,according to study women are increasingly the ones who suffer the most poverty) and many more to add.
But yes there are solutions to these problems through various acts proposed by different governments,the only backdrop is that they don't reach to the people!
The other persistent problem in this tech savvy world is

"Women Work More Than Men But Are Paid Less"

According to a study women cultivate more than half of food that is grown and other such example is cricket!!In country like India cricket is a religion but "do women cricketers get the same benefit as do their counterparts?"The root cause of all of these problems is lack of education.self confidence,social fear!!

"All the women there come out of cocoons,dump hatred,grow respect and fight against the gender inequality"
