Empowerment Of Women, Showing Great Power Despite Any Problems

 



No one can deny the amount of contribution and impact women have made over the years. They have been making changes to the world and for the better of it as well. Women empowerment mainly refers to the practice of making women independent so that they can make their own decisions without any restrains and fear from others. It is the act of lifting their spirits and showing the world that gender is not a hindrance in achieving the best in oneself. Women’s Month is a chance for people around the world to acknowledge women, to see their strengths behind them, to unfold hidden power behind women. This is a way for both men and women to unite as one and acknowledge the worth of both, and to respect every gender and see the individual contributions of each. This time around, while the pandemic is still present, women around the world are still showing their perseverance despite the restrictions. They show that even with big changes in the world, one thing for sure will never change, and that is the strength and power that a woman holds.


          With the pandemic, plans are cancelled, opportunities are ruined, and chances are not achieved. Yet, these empowered women refuse to back down. Before, when women were seen as fragile or weak, they have evolved over the years and showed that women can and will do great things and changes as well. They created ways and paths for themselves despite what society told them not to. That even with the discouragement and criticism from others, they still wanted to prove that greatness is not seen in the gender. With the ongoing pandemic, some actions are restricted. How are women showcasing their empowerment during the pandemic? As we know, this pandemic is a battle, more so mentally. People are getting anxious that life seems to be stuck, they get depressed by cancelling important plans and factors in their life, they are getting sad by not being able to see friends and family – they are getting tortured silently. The pandemic situation and school closures have increased an already high burden of care and work for women. These are impacting women’s physical and mental health. However, women such as mom’s or even front liners, are doing their best to comfort these people. Mothers are considered as the light of homes, as they light up the family’s life even during the darkest of times – “Ilaw ng Tahanan” as they call it. Especially now that life seems to be stuck and dark during the pandemic, they are the ones lifting the spirits of their children, assuring their husbands. The empathy for others and their willingness to help is their trait. That despite tough times and how their spirits may lower, they still set a strong mindset and find the positive in every problem. Of course, there are still some unfortunate happenings. Even before, discrimination on gender, most especially women, is still happening in the present. That women are getting harassed and disrespected based on factors that are not their fault. Society wants gender equality, but does not do the most work to achieve this. Despite this, women all around the world, have come together in different ways and different types of groups to offer support to each other. They worked together to show society that they got disrespected once, but will show their strength and worth not only twice, but as many times if they have to. These women are encouraging other people to see the greatness of everyone, and not just based on their gender and appearance. They are the breaking the stereotype society has on gender. Showing perseverance and not getting swayed by unexpected hurdles like the pandemic, and still showing power and a good heart despite other people trying to bring you down, encouraging others to do the same and make them see their worth – that is empowerment.


          As we face various challenges, this is not a reason for us to give up, rather this is a chance for us to show our true worth and strength. These types of challenges are what makes us grow and empower the strength within us that are yet to show. Times where discrimination hinders some people, and how the pandemic limits our chances, this will only show the true perseverance of those people affected. When we say empowered women, we think of those who have a strong mindset, those who despite tough times, they show that they will keep going even if their spirits may go down. Fighting for your worth while encouraging other to do the same – this is what empowerment is. We can’t deny the amount of hardships and contribution women did for our society. They have opened the eyes of society and made them see that gender is not a factor of the amount of respect or what a person can do. There should be no stereotype based on a person’s gender. We need to be the light for others in order for them to open their hearts and mind, in order to acknowledge and feel the worth of every gender. Respect and empowerment is for everybody, everywhere.

The Youth Of Our Society, We Must Protect Dearly

Image
       When we look back at our childhood and the times when we were just mere children, just enjoying the world around us without worrying too much. When talking about childhood, you might remember the times where you were playing around in the grass, or maybe when you kept asking your parents questions, being the curious child that you are. Thinking back at these moments, we realize how important one’s childhood is to the development of a child. These childhood experiences are what teaches the child, and will soon grow with it. But this is where protecting the children and youth takes place.      Children are very diverse. They are all creative and are curious in many but different things, but despite being curios about how the world works, they are still clueless about the things and events that goes on around them. At this age, they are still way too innocent and vulnerable for the world. These precious and vulnerable children should be kept...
