What is Women's Day?

by Aditi Thirani

Women as an issue has been long debated. Whether it is regarding their rights or responsibilities, it has varied all the time. So what is women's day? What does it represent? Women ofcourse, but how much of it actually helps women as a subject is a big question. Everyone just wants to judge them and decide what they should do and how they should behave. What role does the Women's day have?

Like today if we see so many products in the market are there especially for women. Women have a full-fledged market catering to their needs. But in this transaction, lot of stereotypes are produced. Having a women's day in itself says that women have always had to fight for their rights. They had to keep telling the world that they are independent and are capable of taking their own decisions. Women's Day is like a day off to all the sufferings and pains that a woman goes through. It's a day when she can voice her mind free of any concerns. But this she can do on other day as well so what's so special about women's day?

Women's day is a mark to the struggle that women have always had to get their rights and issues addressed. It is to signify the inequality that women have always faced everywhere, be it home, workplace or anywhere for that matter. She has been silently taking all of that but now she can speak out her mind. And this day is a celebration of that fact. The fact that her views reach to the society and her concerns are taken care of is over whelming. Women's day is a day of unity when all women come together and hold hands against any problem that they face. It a war against all those who discriminate in some or the other way. It is also the justice that a woman gets that she deserves.

Obviously it's not done here. Things still have to improve for a better tomorrow and now is time when that is thinkable. And that in itself is an achievement. Women's day is a time to pledge to solve all the problems and put an end to the struggle and let things be the way they should be. Pledging that the partiality that happened will never make an appearance again. Make a promise to all the women that they will be capable enough to protect themselves from all the harassment and nuisance they face.

Women's Day is a reminder for everyone who forgets about the rights women has and also for them who need to know what are the rights. It is a day for creating awareness in women all over the world so that they know when they are being exploited. It is also a day which represents the powerful women all over and what feats they have achieved and a day which also gives them the due credit that they deserve.

Things will change soon and for good. As the awareness rate increases better things will happen. Women's day is just not a day for women, it a day about women in relation with the whole world.
