Empower women this Women’s Day
Women’s day is celebrated on March 8 every year to recognize women’s achievements and contributions made to society. From time immemorial, women from all walks of life around the world have been discriminated, denied justice, equality and rights. Lets’ make this women’s day a little different by taking some steps towards women empowerment. 
Small steps taken by everyone in the society will bring about a substantial change, some of them could be:
Right to Education
Women are denied education in many households unfortunately because it is believed that they are supposed to perform only household chores. Male chauvinism and lack of funds are usually the reasons behind uneducated girls. Do your bit by encouraging them to study or help them with funds, whatever possible!
Right to Work
A country that treats its women as equal to men is on the path of general prosperity. Motivate women to be self-reliant.

Women’s Day – Empower women
Freedom to make decisions
Let them be their own bosses and give them the freedom to choose what is right and wrong for them. Start with small changes such as choosing what they want to study, career options they want to choose, or for that matter what to wear, how to talk or how to react to situations.
Advocate a safe working environment
Predominantly, males must change their thinking and attitude towards females. If we successfully create safe working spaces for women then people would not object to sending their daughters, sisters, and wives to work.
Mentor girls/women near your home
Anyone can take charge and start small. Motivate, mentor and tutor a girl or woman living in your vicinity. They could be anyone from your household help to their children, to girls living in slums or any girl you spot who needs the education to brighten her future. Teach one, teach all!
