As a women in today's world, there is a lot of things that are offered to me that many fought and gave their lives for us to have. My biggest blessing in this life is that I am a female that gets a choice in what I want to say, what career I want to go in, where I want to live and whom I choose to marry. Although I am and many like me are blessed, there are still so many women out there that have no rights, that have no say and no voice to speak up with. Every day, somewhere in this world a women is getting beat, a women is dying from child birth, a women is raped and abused, a women is discriminated against and a women is looked as the weaker of the species. There are still many career tracks that are restricted to us or are still a men only job,
We have many more liberties than we had ever dreamt of, but we have many more miles to walk before we can claim a victory. We can not give up now. We can not remain silent just because they are miles apart. What we have, they should also have and we shouldn't stop the fight until that happens. If you ask these young high school students what women's suffrage was, more than half wouldn't know what it was. That is a massive back step in our progress. We need to not only talk to our daughters about safe sex and safety but we also need to tell them our history and how much more we have to fight for. When we are too old to protest, to work and fight, we will need the next generation to come in and keep fighting or make sure we never loose our progress. It has to be something we make important in our lives because its important to give the future women the best possible chance we can. We have to evolve so that all the women that came before us and suffered, did not fight in vain. Research things in your area that you can participate in. Research history and discover it as a family. What ever you can do to help keep moving in the right direction will make a difference. If every women in the world even put in a tiny bit of effort for change, it would be done already. We need to do this together, as a unit that will not concede on the justice for women in every country.
