International Women's Day observed at Heibong Makhong on March 08th 2021
Young Minds Collective, Manipur observed the International Women's Day on the theme "Women's Rights and Dignity" on 8th March 2021, at Al-Eddeen English School, Heibong Makhong.
The program aims to promote and protect the status, rights, and dignity of women in our society. Around 100 participants with a larger number of girls participated in the interactive program. Many motivated participants raised their problems and questions on different issues regarding women's rights.
All the speakers shared ideas, knowledge, and their experiences on how to promote, protect and exercise their rights and status which have been given by our constitution. According to the general point of view, women in our society have been dominated by men. Such dominance/discrimination is started from their families where their families don't treat their son and daughter equally.
Boys are given much more importance and privilege in the field of education and career while their parents don't see the same for their daughters. This kind of patriarchal structure needs to be annihilated from our own family firstly. Women now need to start questioning on the dominant structure where male has created.
Islamic law does not prevent women from gaining knowledge and in fact, the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) praised the women of Madinah for their pursuit of knowledge. Islam also doesn't restrict women with proper veils from going outside in pursuit of knowledge and becoming active members of society.
On this day, YMC gives respect and solidarity, especially to the sexual minorities. The Constitution of India delivered special provisions for women in the fundamental rights that "Right to Equality and Right to Equal Opportunity' have to be properly exercised by the authority and people. Women need to be treated equally as men. Men also need the philogyny in our family and society for an egalitarian society.
