Woman is a symbol of delicacy and strength that embodies awareness and love. Women are the foundation of life and hope. Woman is a bright sun that gives warmth to families and communities.
It is right that women should have the same salary as men. It is right that women should be able to make decisions about themselves. It is right that women should have the same schooling and education as men. Sadly, I cannot say that there is no one country in the world where all women can expect to receive these rights, no country in the world can yet say that they have achieved gender equality. The women of Afghanistan always face different challenges. For example, the women of Afghanistan did not have the same schooling and education as men have, even now the schools and universities are banned and women cannot go outside for work and they live with extreme fear. However, it is my belief that women are strong creatures and these extreme situations only make them stronger. It is my trust, if women face problems, they will make a bridge for themselves and overcome all the challenges. I am proud of myself and of all women of Afghanistan.
In addition, the Women’s Day that is cherished on March 8th every year is a massive opportunity for celebrating women’s achievements and their crucial roles in diverse societies. The day is known as a symbol of the fight for women’s rights for freedom and justice. On this day, people celebrate the social, political, economic, and cultural achievements of women and try to increase the awareness of women’s rights and fight against gender discrimination. This day is an opportunity to honor all the values of women.
To sum up, women are the most beautiful creatures. Women can do many things by themselves. Woman is the only creature who doesn’t think about herself and just works hard to do their best for others. A woman is a mother, wife, companion, and a sister. I believe a woman can shake the world when she rocks the cradle.
