Women have demanded equal rights for themselves in all aspects of their lives as in the voting system, in business and even in the home. Almost half of the world's population is women. So, if we neglect and deprive women, we are neglecting and depriving half of the people. Prosperity of the nation is impossible without the participation of women. For this reason, I think women should be given equal rights like men.
Nowadays, we see that women have come out of the shackles of the past. In most adverts women are no longer shown in the kitchen, they are usually shown outdoors or in a scenic place. If we look at the public results we see that female students obtain better results than male students. Women are having all kinds of education in all branches of knowledge. They are entering all kinds of jobs including defense and police services. They are working as news correspondents and TV/radio reporters, actresses, politicians etc.
Women are now equally performing their duties in their families, professions and other sectors. Even in the physical labour of construction work, industries, agricultural farms and business houses women have proved their worth. Women are gradually becoming self-reliant. They are contributing to their family income. They are able to differentiate between right and wrong. They can understand what is good and what is bad for them. They play a vital role to bring up their children and maintain their families.
In spite of all these, women are not given equal rights and opportunities in our society. They are usually offered a lower payment. They are sometimes treated as half of the worth of men. But this discrimination should be abolished. Otherwise, half of the population will remain in darkness and the prosperity of the nation will not be properly achieved.
