\"\"Women, a beautiful creation of God, appointed to make and educate the generations\u2026<\/h4>\n

Throughout history, the central role of women in society has ensured the stability, progress and long-term development of nations. Globally, women comprise 49.5 percent of the world\u2019s population, an almost half. Out of which 43 percent are agricultural labor force \u2013 rising\u00a0to 70 percent in some countries. For instance, across Africa,\u00a080 percent of the agricultural production comes from small farmers, most of whom are rural women.<\/h4>\n

However, it\u2019s widely accepted that agriculture can be the\u00a0engine of growth and poverty reduction in developing nations. Moreover, women, particularly mothers, play the largest role in\u00a0developing the child physically and mentally, hence can be named as, \u201cThe makers of tomorrow\u201d.<\/h4>\n

At the primary level, women are the major caretakers of children and elders in every country of the world. International studies demonstrate that when the economy and political organization of a society change, women take the lead in helping the family adjust to new realities and challenges.<\/h4>\n

They are likely to be the prime initiator of outside assistance and play an important role in hindering changes in family life.<\/h4>\n

Along with this, Rural or Urban, women all over the globe play while taking care of the initial needs of family, play a key role in supporting their households and communities in achieving food and nutrition security, generating income, and improving livelihoods and overall well-being.<\/h4>\n

The contribution of women to a society\u2019s transition from pre-literate to literate likewise is undeniable. Basic education is key to a nation\u2019s ability to develop and achieve sustainability targets. Moreover, research has shown that education can improve agricultural productivity, enhance the status of girls and women, reduce population growth rates, enhance environmental protection, and widely\u00a0raise the standard of living.<\/h4>\n

We can say, it is the mother in the family who most often urges children of both genders to attend \u2013 and stay \u2013 in school. \u00a0The role of women is\u00a0at the front end of the chain of improvements\u00a0leading to the family\u2019s,\u00a0the community\u2019s long-term capacity.<\/h4>\n

Today, the median female share of the global workforce is 45.4 percent. Women\u2019s\u00a0formal and informal labor can transform a community\u00a0from a relatively autonomous society\u00a0to\u00a0a participant\u00a0in the national economy.<\/h4>\n

Despite significant obstacles, women\u2019s small businesses in rural developing communities not only can be an extended family\u2019s lifeline but can form a networked economic foundation\u00a0for future generations.<\/h4>\n

It has been observed, in recent decades the role of women in the urban and rural workforce has expanded exponentially, however still in most of the parts of the globe we can see the gender inequality.<\/h4>\n

Saddest reality is even today, not a single country can claim to have achieved gender equality.\u00a0\u00a0Multiple obstacles remain unchanged in law and in culture. Till date a woman can face discrimination at work, a single woman and even single woman or a divorced in society, still the rules are different for men and woman.<\/h4>\n

At the time of marriage there comes a lot many questions regarding a woman character, even on slightest doubt she can be sent back to her father\u2019s home. A single woman is seen in society as an open chest.<\/h4>\n

Seeing this, the theme for International Women\u2019s Day (8 March) 2022 is,\u00a0“Gender Equality Today for a Sustainable Tomorrow”. The day will celebrate the achievements and contributions of women and girls in different spheres. The day also spreads awareness about women’s empowerment and gender parity.<\/h4>\n

Imagine a gender equal world. A world free of bias, stereotypes and discrimination. A world that’s diverse, equitable, and inclusive. A world where difference is valued and celebrated. Together we can forge women’s equality. Collectively we can all\u00a0\u00a0#BreakTheBias.<\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
