Stress Killing Women in India?

A survey included 6500 women from developed and developing countries, to know their stress levels. The results, 87% of the participants from India said that they feel stressed most of the time and 82% said they have no time to relax. Women from Mexico were in second place and Russian women were in third place, in the stress race.

A women’s role in the modern day has become very challenging. A woman is well known for her skills in multitasking, but it is the same thing and the unlimited expectations from her at home and at work place, that is leading to stress.

Though Indian women have facilities to appoint a maid, and cook, to help them with the domestic tasks, but still these things, does not help in reducing the stress levels. Because when she is given these facilities people expect more from her. Women are expected to meet deadlines constantly at home and at work place.

A part from these the modern women is expected to share the financial responsibilities like. Buying a home, car, or child’s education. When a woman does not have a strong and sound support system it becomes very difficult for her to cope with the expectations and the result stress. If stress levels are to be reduced, age old attitude towards women need to be changed, and they need to be treated as humans, not as robots.

What Women can do to reduce stress? Here are some ways,

1. Avoid Multitasking: As far as possible try to reduce or avoid multitasking, do one thing at a time.

2. Stop Doing Everything By Yourself: Take this out of your mind that all things should be under your control and you should do all the things. Delegate or share your responsibilities and duties.

3. Take Care of Yourself: Talk to your dear ones or friends, share your feelings and see that you are away from stress. Take care of your physical health, and under no circumstances neglect it.

4.  Learn when to say yes and when to say No: It is not possible to please all the people at all times. So, know to what extent you can stretch yourself mentally and physically and learn saying ‘no’.

Safety of Women is Prime Concern?

In India, the coming new year 2013 will bring a resolution with it about safety of women in India. The resolution did not mean any official or government approved, but it would be from the parents, those are in panic after witnessing the ghastly incident of gang-rape in Delhi in December 16th.

Parents and youth would come forward with an aim to save women in India from such embarrassing and ghastly situations. Rape is a shame that tarnished image of India, where a women was brutally gang-rapped in a running bus on the highway in Delhi.

The death of victim will be ever remembered and the society would not allow to happen such with others. Perhaps, this is the first case in India, which waked the society and alarmed bell 'its time for action' to save women.

There may be many cases in India, which were not came to limelight. So, after this shameful incident or gang-rape, society and its people, may have come courage to stop such heinous crime against women.

The major concern is how to protect women, but the answer is also simple, people should aim to check such crimes in their locality and they need not allow any such anti-social aliments into their areas or they can raise their voice against them.

People need to join hand with Police Department, they should cooperate, inform the cops if there any anti-social aliments there or suspected to be.

In a country like India having rich cultural values, rape is not a crime but also big blow on our culture and shame.

Photo Credit:ibtimes.com

All the prayers and all the wishes that were intended for the Recovery and good health of Damini, the Delhi gangrape victim, went waste, when she took her last breath at 4:45 a.m. (IST)Saturday, with her family and Indian officials at her side.

Attackers assaulted Damini and her male companion, when they boarded the bus on December 16th. The attackers robbed them of their belongings and dumped them at the side of a road, police sources said.

The male companion was discharged from the hospital. But as Damini’s condition was critical she underwent treatment at Safdarjung Hospital, but as her condition was extremely critical, she was admitted in the Singapore hospital on Thursday.

The doctors said, "She had suffered from severe organ failure following serious injuries to her body and brain, but she was courageous in fighting for her life for so long against the odds, but the trauma to her body was too severe for her to overcome."

If all of us want to do anything that will make her soul rest in peace. It will be to see that no other women or girl undergoes the suffering that she went through. We as citizens should do our part, and should raise our voice against such crimes, and should stand together till proper changes are made in laws, and procedures, regarding women protection and safety.

The Government should act at a fast pace, as people wish, and should give severe punishment to those involved only then true justice would be done to Damini.

True Sense of Women Empowerment

Women empowerment! We believe that in this country we don’t need to empower women, if at all we intend to do good to women and for that we need to educate men. Because there has been lot of talk about women empowerment and educating women on matters concerning their rights, facilities, education and employment. But when it comes to reality, what’s happening to all that is all we know and thus women empowerment is not progressing at all.

Women: Just an object of enjoyment?

There has been severe increase in the rate of crime, in the recent years. Especially teenagers committing, severe crimes in the name of love. Acid attacks on girls, cutting the throat of the girl, if she rejects the boy. Raping and murdering three year old girls and sixty year old women. We have been hearing lot of this stuff these days. And it is quite saddening and fearful also.

Some times I really wonder if this is the same India, where, women used to be treated with respect and where elders used to teach their children, that where women are treated with respect, Devatas will be there. The influence of western channels, or drastic changes in the lifestyle, and freedom that is really leading us to dogs. The movies whether bollywood or Hollywood, with no piece of acting but just uncovering the naked facts, Really wonder what to blame and whom to blame for all this.

Recent reports and research have shown that that has been a drastic increase in the crime rate, especially towards the girl child. Father of the nation Mahatma Gandhi said “when a women can move freely in the midnight, without fear, that day we have achieved real freedom” I really feel those days were far better than these days, today we fear sending a three year old girl child outside the house, not in the midnight but in the day light only.

Where is all our culture of treating women next to God gone? When have we started seeing women and even babies, as mere objects of pleasure? Sometimes I really feel, that the older generation, were better than us in matter of morality and values. They might be uneducated, but they treated women with respect. They never even thought of crossing limits in matters of morality and values. These are the things that we should inherit from our elders and older generation. Because these are the real mile stones of progress. Our real progress as humans.
