TRINITY MATERIAL FOR ISE II - SOCIETY AND LIVING STANDARDS - 1 Women and society


1.  Women and society

The role of women in society has fortunately changed through time. In fact, it is, although slowly, still changing. Not too long ago, women were seen as housewives only, in charge of cooking, cleaning and taking care of the children. They used to live inside the same four walls. Had  society not changed, women would have continued in the kitchen.  Today, the situation has changed considerably. A growing open-minded society together with new values have allowed women to jump into a more active social life.

This has not happened all of a sudden and men and women are not equal either, but we have come. Now, women can study, travel and work the same as men do. They have voice and are determined to make themselves heard in any field such as in the fields of science, politics, education... and so on.   They can reach personal fullfilment.

But not everything is happiness. There are several obstacles women have to face. For instance, not being taken completely seriously. Certain jobs or duties are still seen for men,  and women are thought to be weaker and not suitable for them. Another problem women come across is the need to find a balance between work and home, which is often not easy whatsoever.

In my opinion, women are doing very well despite all the adversity, and they are not weak but on the contrary, strong and as many of them have already shown, very capable of great things.
