It’s another day for most women in the world: breakfast is cooked? Lunch boxes are ready, diaper bag has been arranged?  fields are tended, washing machine switched on,kids taught, and houses cleaned ! 

In the distance, groups of men thump the drums of war. They talk of the cleansing power of explosives stuffed into a car. They anonymously rain missiles from the sky. They order their soldiers to shoot their own citizens to retain their boney grip of power.


When Men in somewhere gather in support of International Women's Day 2023
Closer to home, there are still far too many men who believe it is their right to hit a woman. Or if not exactly their right, they say it was an unfortunate outcome of a temper that is a bit out of control, a bad day at the office, or a bit too much to work.

👉 There are still far too many men who feel that the difficult, glorious, exhausting, and exhilarating work of raising our children is, somehow, not our work, too. And, who also believe they deserve to have someone cook for them and clean for them as if they were a helpless child or a king.

👉There are still men who don’t see how our governments, our economies, and our places of worship will benefit from the equal leadership of women.

👉There are too many men who oppose women’s reproductive rights and control over their own bodies.

👉There are men who believe that women in the workplace or on the streets are open targets for their jokes, whistles, comments, and proposals.

👉There are too many men who still don’t understand the simplest of words: No.

👉On this day, March 8, International Women’s Day, there seems to be more than the normal disconnect between the lives and experiences of women and the lives and experiences of men. For nowadays, women are challenging this blind exercise of power, whether meted out in the battlefield, at the office,school, or in the home.

And at last, an increasing number of men are responding to the urgent and impassioned voices of women. We are challenging our own assumptions about what it means to be men. We are reshaping our relationships with children. We are thinking about our words and behaviour.

We are building a new bond with women, one based not on domination but on shared responsibilities, respect, and love.

I cannot speak on behalf of any other man, but I know I have millions of brothers who share these words: To the women and girls around the world who continue to inspire us, happy International Women’s Day!

I am not a perfect daughter, not a perfect sister, not a perfect wife, not a perfect daughter in low, not a perfect mother, not a perfect in house hold ( ghar k kamo me) , & not a perfect entrepreneur.. But i am a woman who binds the people of whole house in one thread.

I am only who leave her home and her choice and lives happily in the other house with the choice of her husband ..

I am the only one who can become a mother & can bear the pain of breaking many bones at the time of delivery. I am not a perfect but I am a woman who can bear anything in any conditions. 

I am who dares to forget everything in every circumstance & move forward..

I am not perfect but I am a woman👩
Women are worthy of love and respect every day, not just on Women's Day.

#unedited  #unfiltered  It's not just this photo, it's about this post too. It's been long since I posted something meaningful. But Instagram has this constraint, you can't write your heart out unless you don't accompany it with a pretty picture. 

.

Monday saw a whole galore of women's day special quotes, messages, and posts. HR flooded our emails with wishes, some got flowers and chocolates. As the day closed, the remaining wishes bade goodbye, and remained quietly folded in the corner of our hearts only to be revived next year.

.

What happens for the remainder of days? Life continues, the woman who got flowers throws the wilted ones in the dustbins where they meet the chocolate wrappers lying there from the previous day. The HR mails find their way to the deleted folder and the day goes on.

.

Does women's day come to an abrupt end? How do you define what makes women feel special? Do we, women want to feel special? Do we really need all the flowers and chocolates and a dedicated day to feel celebrated? 

.

How do you continue to celebrate "a day" when girls continue to get raped, abused, and killed?

.

How do you continue to celebrate "a day" when a girl is expected to get married, bear kids, not have careers and expected to justify not having a career under the pretext of "stay at home by choice"?

.

How do you continue to celebrate "a day" when girls who have careers are labelled as negligent toward their kids?

.

How do you continue to celebrate "a day" when "stay at home dads" are rarest of the rare and moving towns, cities, states, or countries because of wife's job is so unheard of?

.

How do you continue to celebrate "a day" when in India, moving out of in-laws house is still a taboo? (I did that, I truly wish you all could.)

.

How do you continue to celebrate "a day" when it is mandatory to take on husband's family name after marriage? ( I didn't take his name.)

.

I have NO answers to these questions, do you? To all of you "HAPPY WOMEN'S DAY". Keep rocking, keep fighting.

.

Until then, I will TEACH MY SON HOW EVERY DAY IS A WOMEN'S DAY.

.

Love 

Gouraja
