Benefit of Doubt: A Woman Wants to be Treated With Respect, not Disrespect

Both men and women have played equal roles in the evolution of mankind. However, the reality of the fact that all over the history, women were treated as the objects of negligence and abuse, is too sad to ignore. In this essay we are going to first talk about how even today women are still subjected to these kinds of injustice and the importance of humanity standing up against the injustice which the women face.

The indifference to Women: An ancient social disease

The disregregation of women is old. Women have been second-rated citizens in different societies over the last thousands of years. In ancient times the role of women was simply viewed as child-bearers or a pleasurer to men. The concepts of religious interpretation, social practices, and superstitions contributed to the infringement of the right of women. This neglect has seen numerous forms that include verbal, emotional, physical and even economic abuse.

Status of women in the modern society

In present time, women have gone an extra mile. They are succeeding in administration, medicine, education, technology, and even such a sphere like space exploration. Nonetheless, with all these accomplishments, an element of the society will continue to treat women with disrespect and bias. In most of these families baby girls are not welcomed but are considered as a burden. Women at workplaces are likely to experience gender segregation, disparities in terms of salaries, and sexual abuse. This kind of behavior not only portrays doubt regarding the dignity of women but also brings up a sickly societal attitude. The Way the Attitude to Women is Neglected

Disrespect and neglect have a variety of ways in which they manifest on women:

Domestic Neglect: The act of prioritizing the education or the freedom of boys than the girls and the act of getting the girls married at a very young age thus not allowing them to live their dreams.

Workplace Discrimination: Women are usually paid less, or they are not promoted to higher positions even when they carry the same qualifications or may even qualify better.

Educational Inequality: In most of the rural regions, female education still is not regarded essential.

Social Humiliation: Ladies are evaluated according to their attires, views or movement. In numerous occasions, they find themselves blamed just because they are the opposite gender.

A Disrespect of Women as a Psychological Form of Violence

Arguing with women and even neglecting and disrespecting are issues in themselves as well not only a social injustice but also psychological violence. In a situation where a woman is not accorded the rightful respect by her family, society or state, her image will be build down. What this does to her is not the only thing it does to weaken the very fabric of society. Unless a female has the capability to achieve her full potential, the society would be deprived of its precious asset. The society suffers once women are disregarded and disrespected. A woman who is left aside cannot bring up her children properly and it will affect the future generation. Hatred, inequality and division grows more in a society, in which women are not respected. Any society that fails to respect its women cannot achieve true peace and progress in such a society. Why We Should Respect Women

Human Rights: Women are human that is why they are entitled to dignity and humanity at birth.

Equality and Justice: A well-civilized society should maintain equality of opportunities and respect to every person.

Impact of Education: Once they are educated and enabled, women play a very significant role in the development of a family, a community, and a nation.

Social Balance: A society made up of members (men and women) will only be made up with a social balance.

The Way Ahead

We should stop neglecting women at the personal, family, social and national levels.

1. Awareness with Education

Education is the strongest instrument to create respect to the women. Both boys and girls should be taught early in life to respect women and also consider them as their equals.

2. Tight law enforcement

Enforcement of these laws that govern abuse and discrimination against women existing should be taken with force. Harassment, violence and disparity at work places should be handled with swift and just actions.

3. Representation Positive in Media

The media such as television, film, and social media have to encourage decent representation of women. Women are not to be objectified and freedoms of gender equality messages should be promoted.

4. Promoting Women Leadership

Women should be accorded a chance to assume leadership positions in politics, learning institutions, business enterprises and governance processes. Women leadership contributes to a more juster and caring society.

Conclusion

Women are not to be neglected, but loved, dignified and respected. A woman is not merely a mother, sister, wife, or daughter, she is a full-fledged human with some desires, skills, and the opportunity to share with the world. The stains of neglect can be washed away in the society, only when we change our minds. Do not forget that the fight against negligence is the fight on behalf of justice. Disrespecting a woman is out of the question- a woman has to be respected so as to constitute a civilized society.

    This is a powerful and necessary call to conscience. The neglect and injustice women face—often in silence—must no longer be tolerated or ignored. Your words echo the strength of so many unheard voices, and I hope they reach those who most need to listen. Respect, equality, and dignity are not favors—they are rights. Thank you for using your voice to demand change. ✊🏽🌍🕊️
