Equality for a Better Country

                It has been centuries since women were deprived of their rights as common denizens of that particular society they belong to. They were all perceived as inferior to men. Contemporarily, equilibrium began to stir among the two sides since it has been said that whatever man is capable of, the woman as well is capable of doing just the same. Both men and women were finally even-handed as citizens of this country.

                However, a lot still commit gender-based discriminations towards women and girls for reasons not even acceptable in anyone’s eye. These actions had severely limited the abilities of women together with the community they inhabit in ensuring proper health for them. It is for this reason that the International Women’s Day was formed with the theme for this year “Equal Rights, Equal Opportunities: Progress for All”. This particular line emphasizes equality in rights and opportunities anew on both men and women and thus leading health for women and girls alike to be much improved.

                Attaining progress in our country has always been a dream for every citizen. But for it to have a place in our reality, everyone should take part and make proper actions that would greatly help in the journey for such dream. Promoting the theme for this year’s event, women and girls should be given every right and responsibility that men can act upon on. Men should not only be the one to make our autonomous country progressive so we have to truly augment further the manpower we currently possess and add on the ladies. We should give the women and the girls a chance to show what they are capable of and open up lots of opportunities for them. We need everyone to lend a hand in helping our beloved land. Maintain equality for a better country.
