Have you ever thought a world without women? Seems quite scary, isn’t it? While we are here, sitting in front of our screen and actually discussing about the importance of a woman, there are millions of girls out there who wish they would not be born a girl. Why? Because of the ugly inequality chain that still clutches our society.

What is even far-fetched is that now parents have the ability to select the gender of their baby. 
Marcy Darnovsky outlined in an article that 160 million of girls are missing throughout the world because of the unnatural selection done by parents. Undoubtedly, parents as individuals have the right to take such decisions. But this problem would not have existed if the attitude towards being a woman would have been different. Can you believe that we are living in the 21^st century and there are still some bunches of people out there who are so narrow-minded?

Understanding why discrimination still exists led me to a very obvious yet indiscernible factor. Economic reasons. In India for instance, the birth of a female child is seen as a “financial ruin” (Read More). Again, it is the closeness of mind within the society which is leading to discrimination. India has often been accused of its dowry system which supresses the woman and her family and this being the major reason behind female foeticide in the country.  

Let us leave aside Asia. The so called ‘developed countries’ are not lacking behind. Despite the fact that women out there are better aware of their rights, they are educated, and they hold prestigious job occupations, they are still victims of sexual harassment. What I found horrible is that a country like France has now decided to amend its legislation about sexual harassment which was considered as vague beforehand (Read More). Come on, we are in 2012 and it is now that this change is being brought on. But better late than never!

A source of inspiration.

Hold your breath. I found this very interesting lady. The BBC focused on this “sharp-shooter granny” who has won innumerable medals and cups. And guess what? She is around 70years old. This is a definite must-read article. No, not for the shooting game ladies. But for the courage she showed to follow her passion, excel at it without pre-occupying about what the society would say (Read More). Would you dare to make your dreams come true?
