Women Empowerment A boon or bane



I am from a conservative family of Odisha (India). When i was born my father little upset that its a girl. The girl 50 years back was considered as a burden on parents. Daughters were allowed to study on special conditions that until a groom is selected for you can continue with studies. Thanks to International treaties on women 's human rights slow changes in legal as well as social seen. As a result lots efforts were made to women to make her economically strong so that her miseries will fade away. Though every possible steps are being made in our legal system to strengthen women life but social mindset change not that prominent. Till date women are expected to play the role of manager of home even though she is a full time working lady. A husband plays the role of BOSS whetherthey earn or not. This attitudegets the support society. Under this condition it felt that there is too much expectation from women . In one hand all the sincere effort are made to employ the women to supportfamily income (working women)on the other hand TV ads of groceries, home appliances are to be used by women. The Dual role expected from our women is like saddling her with more responsibility without thinking of how to share her burden .
