WOMEN IN A CHANGING WORLD

HELLO, my dear readers! How was your past week? I hope all was well, especially my fellow students!

Well, as requested from a reader of mine, this week I will be talking about ‘Women in a changing world’.

Women, I believe, are just as important as men, because, as they say: “Behind every successful man there is a woman”. These fairly new ventures being undertaken by our world leaders to eradicate gender-biased stigmas and let gender equality prevail are something I am very happy about.

Not only will these ventures improve the social lives for women, but they will also eradicate all hazards women have to face in obtaining jobs, and provide them with the justice and respect they deserve.

In previous times, the key roles of women were to raise the children, take care of the family, and manage the household. Now women still manage to carry out these traditional duties as well as manage their professional work lives.

The life and endurance of women, especially those working and still managing the home, is really commendable. Even those working outside the home only, or managing the home alone, display the strength and endurance found in a woman.

I distinctly remember, a few English classes ago, that we were being taught persuasive writing, and while given the opportunity to choose what topic we wanted to write on, naturally the topic of ‘gender equality’ was brought up. A few persons in class were dubious about ‘gender equality’ and, like a lot of people, they, too, believed that there should not be gender equality because a woman cannot do all that a man can (like the extra labourious tasks).

Our teacher sat down and explained to us that while a woman cannot do all that a man can, a man cannot do all the things a woman can either. So, just as my teacher explained to us, I’m passing on the message that women deserve to be treated fairly, and not be looked down upon.

That’s all for this week; I hope you enjoyed it. But before I go, let me say that I didn’t mean to offend anyone, especially the males, I am just voicing my beliefs.

Good bye! See you all again next week at your favourite and best newspaper!
