Women and work

 For all women folks and feminists out there, it was ‘the’ occasion for everyone to come together and share their lives’ experience through the written word. Zubaan, an independent non-profit feminist publishing house organised an event ‘Writing the feminist future’ dedicated only to women writers. Zubaan grew out of India’s first Feminist publishing house, Kali for Women.

It’s set in our way that the right  place for women is in there homes while consider that an unjust decision and should enjoy the same rights just as for the other gender.

As a matter of fact , the issue we are talking about is controversial ; I mean there are two apposing points of view towards it and for me they should have jobs to be on equal footing with men since they can be as fruitful as men or may be more , thanks to their vivacity, perseverance  and impartiality and there are many examples of prominent women who have proved their capacity and unprecedented  achievement in various.

I can mention Angela Merkel , the first female chancellor of Germany, the first former citizen of the German Democratic Republic to lead the reunited Germany and the first woman to lead Germany Democratic nation-state in 1871.  Shirin Ebadi the Iranian human rights and democracy activist and also  Margaret Thatcher , she was former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1979 to 1990 and other similar onces.

To start with, man is the creation of God and therefore he/she is free to act and react in this worldly life. There is nothing and no one that should limit or diminish his/her rights to be free and respected. With that said, we still can see that there are much gender and racial discrimination almost everywhere.

Women, in all our history has been suffering from discrimination and marginalization by men. In the past women were buried alive, burned at the death of their husbands and were slaves to a man. Racially, black in America and almost everywhere were discriminated against and had no rights at all.

They were working in plantations as slaves and were denied a marriage with a white person. Of course, I always think that our history is full of shameful events that show just how cruel and oppressive some people were.

To reverse this image of inequality and oppression, non-governmental organizations have been doing all they can to protect women’s rights as well as ensure racial rights for immigrants and workers. So far, the efforts have been successful but haven’t stopped discrimination against minorities and women, in particular, in many countries. Violence and denial of a woman’s right to work and participate in public life is still not achieved in some conservative countries

.All in all, so long as we live in one world and we complete each other why don’t we work together for a bright and equal society.
