anchoring sppech for women day

Every year we celebrate women’s day with a lot of enthusiasm, bonhomie and fanfare. And I am lucky to be invited by some organization or institute or university to celebrate Women's Day with them where, in return for a lecture on Women Empowerment, I get treated to a wonderful show of women talent and capability. I get to interact with women who inspire with their stories of determination, challenges and survival.This time I was honored to visit a wonderful organization called Bosch, where a sizable number of staff are women. Highly charged and enthusiastic young women working in various functions. The talented and spirited young ladies sang, danced, mimicked and recited poetry on women power during the cultural program. What really struck me during the brief interaction I had with them, was the support and encouragement they gave each other; appreciating and applauding each others performance.The message I wanted to convey through my speech was exactly this !

“The way in which we think of ourselves has everything to do with how our world sees us and how we see ourselves successfully acknowledged by the world.”- Arlene Rankin

On International Day for women, huge sentiments are expressed about the power of women and many proverbs and poems directed towards women. It is really nice to have a special day for yourself where you are glorified to a point of being dazed, honored, awarded etc.

All this is fine.Then let’s talk about the day after all this hype about women’s day subsides, when I am brought back to mother earth – My true place.

I ask, why is that after so much awareness and acknowledgement of a woman’s contribution to life ,society, family and work; saluting her strength, resilience, sacrifice she still is considered only second to men and treated like a second rate citizen ?

A woman is the full circle.
Within her is the power to create, nurture and transform.~ Diane Mariechild

Are men to blame? Not really I say.

Let me tell you a story to highlight what I want to say .There was a farmer who found a warm egg in an eagle’s nest, about to hatch .He took it and put it among his hen’s eggs for hatching .Pretty soon the eggs hatched and the tiny chicks came out and followed the mother, imitated her and tried to be like her. The baby eagle also believed that she was a chick and behaved like one. The mother hen saw and knew that one of her chicks was different, but was afraid to acknowledge it .The baby eagle, all her life, believed she was a hen and behaved like one .Then one day she saw a beautiful, powerful eagle soaring high up into the sky with her powerful wings. The hen eagle looked up and wistfully said, I wish I could soar into the sky so high like the eagle.” In my next birth I would like to be born an eagle”; not realizing her own, strength, power and abilities as an eagle.

Many of us women also believe we are hens, when in reality we are eagles. Only, we never believe we are capable of doing so much more.

Why is that? That’s because deep within us somewhere, it has been ingrained since generations, that we are not capable of many things. We cannot or must not or should not or will not…..

“Stop wearing your wishbone where your backbone ought to be.”- Elizabeth Gilbert

Ratan Tata’s quote about how none can destroy iron except its own rust, rings true here. One’s mind set and lack of self-esteem can do more harm to one’s self than any other thing in the world.

Added to this is the indisputable fact that most of the times, it is women who are obstacles to women themselves.

If you have seen lobsters lying together after they are caught, open in a basket, you will wonder why they don’t escape .It is simply because every time a lobster tries to climb out, the others pull it back.

This is pretty much the attitude of many women while dealing with their daughters when they don’t accord them the same privileges that they do with their sons, or when a mother- in- law treats her daughter- in -law as if she is altogether a different species . Or when women colleagues turn a blind eye when one of their kind is a victim to some kind of harassment. Sometimes in the form of a police woman who instead of empathizing with a dowry /abuse victim, yells and roughs her up or a lady gynecologist who doesn't bat an eyelid aborting a female foetus.

“Courage is like a muscle. We strengthen it by use.”- Ruth Gordon

I have been witness to my women friends and the attitudes they encounter from their families; women from various strata of the society whom I interact with and their helplessness in doing things that you and me would consider regular and normal - like taking up a course of higher studies or finding a new job or even styling their hair differently. I have been beyond shocked because young girls who want to study and have a career are forced to get married and have no choice or say because of lack of support from their mothers, fathers, families and society. This is happening today not 100 years ago.

Well-meaning consistent support, however small, for however trivial situations in life, if honestly given to women by people who matter, will truly make a big impact on women's empowerment.

Here it’s not just women’s support that will matter, but men’s support also without which true empowerment cannot be achieved .For, men play very important roles –Father ,Brother, Grandfather, Uncle ,Husband, Son, Teacher, Adviser and Friend .The influence and mind set of all these roles is extremely vital for the true empowerment of a woman.

“If you don’t like being a doormat then get off the floor.”- Al Anon

Small things like encouraging a daughter to find her dreams and helping her achieve them; appreciating the efforts and helping a woman at home; treating all children equal boy or girl; making a woman believe in herself and increase her self-confidence by letting her take some important decisions;making a woman feel safe and other considerate gestures shown to women at the basic unit called family, will impact the society positively and tremendously more than any lofty women’s day celebrations will.

While stating all this I would like to thankfully acknowledge my mother, my dad and my family and their role in supporting me, developing my confidence, treating me on par with my brothers, while encouraging me to believe that I was better if not equally as good as anyone else in this world. This faith reposed in me, helped me stand up for myself and rise time after time, in spite of innumerable setbacks, failures and falls in life and still be able to stand tall and face life courageously with enthusiasm and a smile.

We all look up to strong, independent women. But how do we become one ourselves?

There are two ways of spreading light ...To be the candle, or the mirror that reflects it.~ Edith Wharton

By honoring yourself and treating yourself with respect, you set the stage up for others to treat you with respect.Developing great self esteem,believing in ones self, having a never-say-die attitude and most importantly by supporting other women, women set the sails towards true women empowerment.
