Girls in their graduation day

Synopsis

If we study the global history of femininity, we will come to know some astonishing facts about how a society mistreated women for centuries. And it continues in the same way in some parts of the world.

Parents of daughters should know these parenting tips for raising daughters.

My family raised me with equal rights to boys and girls.

I never felt any discrimination from my parents for being a daughter in the family.

My parents provided all the comforts and facilities my brothers had, so, whenever I come across incidents of discrimination among boys and girls in society, I feel despondent.

LET US NOTICE A FEW PECULIAR CHARACTERISTICS OF PEOPLE IN SOCIETY ON THEIR BELIEFS, AFFECTION AND LOVE,

1. People worship God and Goddesses because they believe that they are the creators of the universe.

2. People have affection and respect for their birthplace.

3. People give immense love and care to the mundane world like cars, houses and other assets people own.

Now if we think critically, what should be the ideal characteristics of humans?

  1. People should worship the teachings of God/Goddesses

2. People should have affection and respect for all forms of life like animals, plants and other humans

3. People should give immense love and care to feelings, thought processes and creativity rather than materialistic things.

When do we think of the creator of the world, who is the first person to come to our mind?

IT IS “MOTHER” – A WOMAN. #MOTHERHOOD

But there is a surprising fact that the women who are the creators of the human race get exploited by a particular segment of society.

The women who give birth, nurture and bring up the human race have been tortured and mistreated by a section of society for ages.

Can we imagine a world with no womanhood?

Will it be possible for the human race to survive for more than a hundred years without a woman on the planet? 

The answer is a big ‘No.’

The woman has been driving life on earth since the ages.

This is shameful that society considers women as the weaker and dependent section. A few people treat women as slaves.

They do not value women’s emotions and abilities.

If we study the global history of femininity, we will come to know some astonishing facts about how a society mistreated women for centuries. And it continues in the same way in some parts of the world.

Firstly, For the century, girls who were barely at the end of adolescence were forced into marriage. They were married to a person who was many years older than her.

She was forced to marry a person whom she did not love. Such practices stand the same in a particular segment of society.

Secondly, The girl child faced female genital mutilation rituals in many countries. It was an act of violence and it was against human rights.

Thirdly, People trade girls across National borders as commodities. They force women to work as prostitutes and slaves.

Fourthly, girls continue to face sexual harassment and abuse in workplaces and schools.

Fifthly, family and society used to kill the women for the honour of their families for speaking to strangers or going into a marriage of their own choices.

Sixthly, Girls have been victimized even before their birth. As the technology provides the tools for prenatal sex selection, we have reports of abortions by gender selection.

In the era, where women have beaten men in almost all the fields we know. We have to consider that a mindset for raising a girl child has to be stronger than a boy child.

HERE ARE A FEW PARENTING TIPS FOR DEALING WITH LIFE SITUATIONS FOR THE UPBRINGING OF A GIRL CHILD.

First of all, the mothers in this world need to respect their womanhood.

Mothers, unless you feel honoured for yourself and womanhood, you will not be able to justify the true spirit of motherhood to your child.

Parents prefer to have boys over girls.

They do not welcome a girl with as much enthusiasm as in the case of a boy.

For example:

The day a couple reveals their joy to the world about the expectation of a child, the very first wish they get from everyone is, “God bless you with a child.”

Such kind of belief is still prevalent nowadays. The reason for this discrimination is because of the wrong beliefs of women themselves.

It is because family and society tell her that becoming a mother of a boy child is more prestigious than becoming the mother of a girl child.

The day she takes pride in being the mother of a girl child, society will welcome a girl with the same enthusiasm as a boy.

Ladies, think about it if your mother accepts you and greets you with her heart and soul who else you would need to accept you.

You will conquer the world if your mother is behind you with her full support and unconditional love.

SO, BE PROUD OF BEING A WOMAN.

#woman

You are everything to your child. You do not need anyone else’s approval to be a proud mother of a girl child.

Second, In a few families, people believe that only boys can take the family’s name to future generations.

They think that daughters become part of different families after marriage.

So the daughter’s achievements and the next generation will not carry their family’s name.

Do the people remember their great-grandfathers every day? Sometimes people do not even remember their names.

Third, Parents need to use their wisdom and think about it. Parents need to understand that gender discrimination is the creation of those people who we do not know.

Fourth, Dowry is also a big issue for parents. However, if the people in society and especially the young generation become against this practice, they will not face dowry problems at the time of marriage.

Parents should make their daughters financially independent so that they would not compromise and marry a boy who demands the dowry.

Fifth, Apart from general education, parents should arrange some special education to make their daughters physically and mentally healthy.

Apart from this, girls should learn self-defence techniques and also learn how to remain mentally strong in case they go through some mishap in life.

Sixth, you can give sex education in the early stage so that they can realise something unusual happening with them in families and the school as well

In addition to the above, Parents can ask the school authorities to arrange some special classes for girls to understand the defence mechanism and provide sex education relevant to their age.
