Udaipur | Janmat Manch organized an online symposium to commemorate International Women's Day. The symposium's objective was to discuss women's social, economic, political, and cultural freedom. International Women's Day is a festival that celebrates women's rights and promotes women's empowerment.

Janmat Manch President Dr. Srinivas Mahawar said in his address that our ancient scriptures recognize the importance of women, even stating, "Yatra naryastu pujyante ramante tatra devataah," meaning, "Where women are worshipped, gods reside there."

 

But considering today's times, despite women possessing so much power, there is a pressing need for their empowerment. Dr. Mahawar also stated that the government is organizing numerous programs, such as Mother's Day and International Women's Day, to raise awareness about the importance and rights of women in national development, and empowering them.

 

In India, to empower women, it is essential to first eradicate the demonic mindsets that undermine their rights and values, such as dowry, illiteracy, sexual violence, inequality, female foeticide, domestic violence against women, prostitution, and human trafficking.

 

Our country faces high levels of gender inequality, where women suffer from abuse not only from their families but also from the outside world.

 

The true meaning of women's empowerment will be realized when women in India are given a good education and empowered to make independent decisions in every field.

 

Women are considered the power of creation, meaning that the human race is believed to exist because of women. Women's empowerment is about developing and refining this creative power and providing equal opportunities in the social, religious, economic, political, and judicial spheres.

Women's empowerment means improving the social and economic status of women so that they have equal opportunities for employment, education, and economic advancement, enabling them to achieve social freedom and progress. This is the path through which women can fulfill all their aspirations, just like men.

In simple terms, women's empowerment can be defined as the power that empowers women to make their own decisions and live well in their families and society. Women's empowerment is about empowering women to achieve their true rights in society.

The respect and status of Indian women declined significantly in the medieval period compared to ancient times. The respect they received in ancient times began to decline in the medieval period.

Women hold many important political and administrative positions, yet ordinary rural women are still confined to their homes and lack access to basic health and education.

 

Without women's empowerment, women cannot attain the place they have always deserved in the country and society. Without women's empowerment, they cannot fight centuries-old traditions and evils. Without women's empowerment, they cannot become capable of achieving their own personal freedom and control over their own decisions.

 

Women's empowerment can play a crucial role in achieving women's rights and equal opportunities. This is because women's empowerment not only prepares women for subsistence but also creates an environment for them to awaken their feminine consciousness and achieve liberation from social oppression.

 

Given that India has become one of the fastest-growing countries in the world today, India needs to focus on achieving the goal of women's empowerment in the near future. To truly empower women in Indian society, we must understand and eliminate the root causes of negative practices against women, which stem from the patriarchal and male-dominated system of society. It is crucial to change our old mindsets against women and also bring about changes in constitutional and legal provisions.

 

Even though women have become presidents, prime ministers, administrative officers, medical officers, lawyers, and so on, some sections of women still require support and assistance. They need further assistance in education, freedom to work, safe travel, safe work, and social freedom. This work of women's empowerment is crucial because India's socio-economic progress depends on women's socio-economic progress.

 

Women's empowerment provides women with the strength that helps them fight for their rights. We should all respect women and give them opportunities to advance.

 

The twenty-first century is a century of joyful possibilities in women's lives. Women are now emerging in every field. Today's women are awakened and active. "When women break the shackles and shackles imposed on them, no power in the world will be able to stop them." Women have begun to break the shackles of traditionalism. This is a heartening sign. Though people's thinking is changing, more efforts are needed in this direction.

 

Chief Secretary Shirish Nath Mathur stated that women are now working shoulder to shoulder with men in every field. Whether at home or in the office, women are often entrusted with more micromanagement responsibilities than men. The world recognizes that women possess greater resilience and endurance than men. Women are the creators of innovation. Today's women not only manage the home but also make significant contributions to the progress of the country and the world. The purpose of Women's Day is to raise awareness about improving the social, economic, and political status of women and to educate them about their rights.

 

Co-Secretary Dr. Priyadarshi Ojha stated that women play a vital role in improving natural resource management, nutritional security, and the overall well-being of the community. The overall development and education level of children is directly linked to the mother's education. Furthermore, approximately 70-80% of healthcare services in India are provided by women.

 

Organization Secretary Vishal Mathur said that currently the Rajasthan Government is running schemes to empower women, improve their health and education and make them self-reliant such as Chief Minister Rajshree Yojana, Lado Protsahan Yojana, Udaan Yojana, Chief Minister Ekal Nari Samman Pension Yojana, Lakhpati Didi Yojana, Chief Minister Nari Shakti Udyam Protsahan Yojana, Chief Minister Work from Home-Job Work Yojana, Rajasthan Mahila Nidhi whose objective is to develop positive thinking towards women, improve their health and education level and make them self-reliant. While giving thanks, Coordinator Vinod Chaudhary said that even today, women from many families in rural areas who are deprived of education and are in search of employment need to be connected to the mainstream.
