The Family of Inequalities
When I say Inequality, there are many ways we see it practiced around this world. The word inequality represents various situations. Can you collect them in your mind? Social inequality, Political Inequality, Economic Inequality, Gender Inequality, and many more. Don't you think all these inequalities are interlinked to one another making a tremendous circle?
Let's start with gender inequality. Even after years of struggling for their rights, women still face a lot of discrimination in their everyday life. They are being sexualized for achieving the medals and making their country proud, Does only women have sexual features? Facing harassment for getting a job which they deserve. Are only men talented? Getting attacked because they are beautiful, is it really their fault? Losing their dignity and self-esteem just to satisfy the needs of some perverts. Are they some sex toys for you?
Starting from the first breath of her life, she starts giving so many assessments just to prove herself, and sometimes she can't even take her first breathe. They don't get educated because they don't worth it, after all, all they have to do is make babies, have a family, and take care of everyone around them. Some vigilant psyches think not to let their girl's feet out of the house because they can't fight for themselves assuming they are weak. When she can take a baby inside her womb for nine months and could deliver it how can she be not strong?
A girl is born into a family and starts facing the first inequality in her life. Not getting that much love and support that her brother used to get in the family leads her to social inequality, her brother is going to take higher degrees and fulfilling his aspirations but she is not allowed to do the same and here facing gender inequality and even after struggling the inner worms if she goes for a job or any profession, her body has to pay the price and isn’t it Economic Inequality, Next, why there are few women in the political sphere as compared to men? This is because of the genius perceptions of people who find no leadership skills in women. But let me remind you the first country to be covid free i.e., New Zealand is led by a female Prime Minister (Jacinda Kate Laurell Ardern) while still, other countries are struggling with the male leaders who are very talented and strong. Have you seen political inequality going on here?
The problem of world population, which many countries are facing is also the outcome of not educating women. Infant mortality rates are higher in countries where women are uneducated and deprived, the great example is South Africa.
As you see the social inequality developed itself to gender inequality which turned its face to economic inequality and lastly takes the face of political inequality. Thus, they all are interlinked. Now, the question must be rising in your heads, By eradicating one of them could we eliminate the others? Hell, Yeah! Start right now. Even if one of them vanished completely without leaving any traces others will slowly and definitely start eliminating. But for that, we all have to be one. Because all this is not only political but also a part of humanity which stands one alone and still strong. Let's take steps together regardless of religion, region, caste, class gender, sexuality, and other differences. Let’s stand together against every loophole of society and institutions. Don't think Indian women or countries women just think humans. Just know they are humans. But the oppressors have to speak for themselves first, they have to raise their voice first then we have to stand with them and we will stand with you. Even if you are slaughtered it's fine! at least it's better than having the guilt of not trying for your own life. All have is your own life, so fight for it, fight for yourself and speak for yourself.
