It’s really a crazy world, when you think of women going
through the abuse and other physical and mental torture in life… there is more
to it when things are all fine as you think to be!
Which woman doesn’t dream to have a happy life with her prince
charming? Some get lucky to have that prince in life and some don’t. Those who
don’t they have real challenge as to exist in that situation or to exit and
make a new entry into life.
But imagine, a woman who has everything in life and is
happily planning to grow her family by having kids and she realizes after many
years of trying she is not able to conceive?
I mean when I used to think of such situations, all I used
to tell to self is, if such things happen then you better both go and get
checked by a specialist or infertility doctor. But, it’s not that simple as I
used to think.
What women have to go through is worse what I heard today. I
literally wanted to hug my friend when she said her friends were avoiding her
because she was considered as bad omen because she had issues with infertility.
All of a sudden, I thought of my friends. Will they be like
that? Did education bring anything to anyone? Or rather I ask are we even a
HUMAN?
It is so sad that a time where a woman should understand
another woman, you see a woman ill-treating and hurting other woman’s feelings
only because they are not in that situation. That is so selfish and inhumane.
I pity such women and feel ashamed. If a woman, who is
supposed to be that nurturing, loving and caring human – is behaving like this
then I can’t think anything good from anyone. Today’s story about infertility
really made me think of – what is the importance of women on this planet? Only
to provide…. Either yourself to your man, provide kids to the family, make sure
you have a son so that your man’s legacy will be carried forward and then you
keep providing everything till you can. Because the moment you stop providing,
you are useless!
“There is no tool for development more effective than the
EMPOWERMENT of WOMEN” ~ Kofi Annan
All these thoughts and upbringings have made the mentality
of people such that if a woman doesn’t become a mother, she feels humiliated
and horrified. Where as in a normal situation, she should get it checked and if
even medical treatments cant help she should just go and adopt a kid who is in
much need of love, a home and a family who can take care of that kid.
All this can be changed only when we can flush the selfish
thoughts from our mind and add some human values in it which teaches to love
and support each other.
“Ekla Chalo Re”, is that platform which not only lets
everyone to share their stories that they have gone through in their life, but
also how they chose that path to break it and change it for their goodness and
better life.
It is not about one woman, or one woman’s story – it’s about
everyone. Whether you are a man or woman, help people who are going through
such situations of infertility, or any abuse support them and guide them. “Ekla
Chalo Re” is the program where we all women have taken that decision to help
and support everyone to get up from his or her fallen situations and rise up
and be confident in life. We only get one life and we must not waste it in some
or the other taboo that our society or community live with. We all have to be
part of the society and being in the society we have to bring that awareness
and strength to people to be empowered.
Let’s live and Let Other’s Live too happily!
