Every year as March approaches we see women being honored in different platforms for their achievement in their respective fields of interest. If you open your social media platform, we see lot of new titles floated for women archivers. Even local clubs organize lots of activities exclusive for women. Every passing year we see new initiatives coming up to bring out the deserving women to limelight. Glad to see this recognition as with new awards, new faces are showing up. But having said this I have a real thought which lingers in my mind. Should women wait for women’s Day for the society to recognize them? With so much of buzz over Women’s Day, are really missing out on the real power of women? Are we confining the women’s supremacy with one award?
When you google women archivers, it throws up data of women who had done some phenomenal work since bygone years. We also read about how ancient women broke the rules and did something extraordinary to bring in the social change. Their roles in wars as queens, warriors & saviors of their tribe are remarkable. We also read about women scientists who have done prodigious work in the field of research. There are many other exceptional women who paved a way for their successors. There are many other women who are still making history in this modern era, inspiring fellow women.
But… are we still missing out the deserving women, who do not have an opportunity to show themselves up to the society? Have we still omitted out few who are doing a much greater job than those people who are in the limelight? The answer is yes… we are neglecting a broader category who are silently toiling themselves for the upliftment of the family. Those who balance life and work with poise. Those women who keep their family’s mental and physical health at place, those women who don’t have time for themselves. All the women who work seamlessly in just delivering their responsibility in the best possible way. These women really need standing ovation.
Celebration of womanhood is not an one-day affair. Power of women is to be lauded each and every day, the role she plays in the family, society and in the professional front is astonishing. By the sheer ability to multitask, she handles whole lot of things around her. Kudos to these unsung heroes. Happy women’s Day
