Yeeeey! It is International Women's Day 2016

It is yet another time of the year where we celebrate women. Personally, i am a feminist. i believe in Women's rights. To me Women's Right is not a subject. It is a moral value i live with. It is my religion. my belief.

As we celebrate IWD this year, i was reflecting how we are drifting away from the originality of the day.  A day where we look back and celebrate women's struggle and cherish the fruit of everyday success. Unfortunately, we have kind of lost focus on this

While we are very sure to remember ourselves, with a little pampering and a good meal, i do not think this day is meant for that. This day is meant  for  looking  at our struggle, to remember the deeper meaning in  being women workers, and farmers, and stay at home mums, and doctors lawyers, teachers, food vendors, manufacturers, nurses, politicians, government officials, preachers etc etc. We have to find a clearer meaning on how these are  contributing to the world we have today, statistically and naratively and bring this into visibility.

We have to add voice into our work and how they are contributing to the economy today. We have to put a value in our giving birth so that  people stop call it "A woman's work" It is not just a woman's work but a central  pillar of human race.

I salute all women out there who have stayed strong and true to the cause. I salute all women who have gotten through the difficulties paused by traditional roles of women. Who have survived deaths and violence,  Who have gone through labor pain and C section  and yet stayed awake at night to feed their children. I salute every woman out there who had the courage to shake the patriarch system and bring the stupid ideologies down.

It is IWD, give women salute everywhere!
