what is women's day for?







Women’s day

By Hafidh Kido

Today women all over the world are celebrating their day but I don’t know what are they marking from this day, it is a bit confusing to hear women are celebrating their day. 

Am not stereotyping or rather marginalizing them, but the fact is that they need to work hard to show their dignity and not forcing community to see them in another perspective, we as the member of society we don’t expect them to tell us that they can achieve this and that but they have to live their life accordingly.

Yesterday my lecturer of Public speaking asked me whether I believe in women emancipation or not; but the first word came out of my mouth was ‘no’. In fact I was not well prepared for the answer but after some time I found myself believe that I gave the right answer. 

Because what are they fighting for as far as the word women emancipation is concerned, if I may ask. They shouldn’t react as the victims of God’s creation, they are created as they are and not other ways. They are not marginalized but the fact that they keep themselves believing that then men took that ideology for granted.

The moment they join their hands together to fight for their right, means they have admitted the failure; of which for me is the weakness and mistake. Because, God created women as the free human being, what men’s have is exactly what women have; the strength, opportunity and reasons for living.

But the challenge women are facing is because they have allowed man to manipulate their future and the truth is that, they have chosen to be weak and before they realize weakness will be their fate. 

The unspoken side about gender balance is that New World Order is engineering the conflict of interest across gender from family level. To make the matter worse experts of gender balance have come up with the idea of fifty-fifty representation in terms of community leadership.

For instance in Tanzania they have the system of women free seats in the parliament; what for? Who told you that men’s are made to stand before the voters on platform and ask for vote, but women because they don’t have that ability they should be given free seats? Yet there is the campaign to forge women position in the society.

We don’t need awareness to men’s position in the society, but why women? By the virtual of being men is not that they have the mandate to be everything everywhere. 

There should be courageous women who can stop this agitation of women being equal to men but order and rules should be followed.

The issues of equal share of wealth, domestic violence, women inheritance and equal share to acquire knowledge should not be a big deal but just like any other crimes, they way they are handled.

If government of the certain state took unequal share of wealth, beating your fellow or rather body attack and other things like act against human rights as the crime then let it be crime and not other ways.

But I have seen it several times that people believe anything wrong done against women is the women marginalization and not like normal crime. But things done against man are fair.  

This is the time to change women’s mind and think of keeping themselves away from proclaiming about women’s right and things like gender balance. Who created us also separately gave us opportunities that we deserve and is the one who know our future.

Happy women’s day……..
