Financial circumstances or place of residence.

Personal characteristics and by gender.
Our society is mostly male dominating with few exceptions. Basically the characteristics of
human are gradually changed. We have lost our basic qualities of life. We are gradually
becoming commodities. We do not control our greed by any means and lost our basic
human natures. The controller of the society are the most powerful (money and men)
people of our society. Gender doesn’t matter.
In many unethical cases it has been found that there was an woman (giant lady) who was
dominating the violence both domestic or social.(child trafficking, child labor etc)
Male and female are biologically different and it is the universal truth. So,we should accept it.
But as human being both have equal right. Practically we female are trying to present ourselves
as male. The most foolish thought. This thought only make them inferior nothing else.
If any situation someone (female) raising her voice against any unethical issue, another one
taking the privileges. That is the practical scenario. Some women think that men are our
enemies. They eagerly trying to modified themselves in male and there by proving themselves
inferior by any means. But practically male and female are complementary to each other. So we
should worked together.
Women can do everything irrespective of time, place and person. But each and every persons
have some limitations and we should accept it. Women should empower themselves mentally by
educating, financially and culturally and gain the power of self-control and self respect, not only
by changing their dress-coat and then we can achieve our independence and will access human
rights equally. Women empowerment generally has five components : firstly, women's sense of
self worth; secondly, their right to have the power of control their own lives, both within and
outside home; and lastly, their ability to influence the direction of social change to create a just
social and economic order nationally, internationally and universally.
We are social being. we are bounded by our family members, neighbors, relatives and environments. So
any work or behaviors carrying negative messages should not be done by us.
The economic empowerment of women is a vital element of strong economic growth in any
country. Empowering women enhances their ability to influence changes and to create a better
society.
Lastly, both male and female are human being. That is the only truth. Until this universal truth
accepted by everybody we could not achieve our well-being. So, we should treat all persons as
human being not by gender variations.
Women should presented themselves exclusively as women and that way we can maintained
our dignity and self-respect.
"Women as the motherhood of the nation should be strong, aware and alert".
