In many parts of our society, a woman is seen in relation to others as someone’s daughter, someone’s sister, someone’s wife, or someone’s mother. Rarely is she acknowledged as an individual in her own right. Who is she? A human being. Why is she here? To play her role in society, just like anyone else. How is she treated? Far too often, she is silenced, overlooked, and denied her rightful place.
Undermining women has long been an issue in our society. The belief that they are secondary to men, undeserving of equal rights, and bound to certain roles has been normalized for generations. This mindset continues to restrict women from living freely and fully, robbing them of their basic liberties.
