A Call for The Women of Valor

The business world of today is flooded with women. The number has grown exponentially in the past ten-fifteen years. The society is slowly adapting to the idea of women as bosses. Parents have shed their fears and supported their daughters to chase their dreams. While all this is true, for a woman to become an entrepreneur is still like crossing a mountain, especially for the women from middle-class and upper-middle class societies. I do agree entrepreneurship is like crossing a mountain for everyone, for women it’s like crossing two of those damn things.  The idea of women entrepreneurs is still a concept, in its inception in our country.

Every woman who aspires to build her own kingdom has to fight so many people and usually the ones with her parents turn out to be the ugliest ones. If the woman is married, it gets even difficult, if her loved ones are not supportive of the idea. Even the most educated parents of the lot are not supportive of women going out and taking risks. I’m pretty sure there are lakhs of women who have been forced to live lives defined for them by someone else.

This, I think is a very serious problem. This problem should definitely be taken care of. All the women who have struggled their way through, all the women who’ve had supportive parents and in-laws, all the women who have become successful in their chosen line, all those women who have tasted victory through their courage and hard work should come out and create awareness in the society. All the women in the world should join force and help parents understand the importance of letting their girls follow their dreams.

Let’s hold our hands to bring about freedom, for women.
