“It can thus be said that women, by looking to Mary, find in her the secret of living their femininity with dignity and of achieving their own true advancement.” – St. John Paul II, Redemptoris Mater 46
“It is more important than ever for men to stand up for women’s rights and gender equality. That is why I am a proud feminist.”
What won’t change is that each year on women’s day, empowered and socially aware people around the world, men and women will continue to raise voices for gender equality and rights of women. That’s empowering, that’s the shape of progress.
I have looked up to the Church and asked these questions. And the only reply I ever got was humanity is catching up. Societies are catching up. So to all the strong men and women out there, you are empowering the future generation, future of a brighter world.
If I have to give a personal message to the women around the world, “remember every time someone’s voicing for women, just don’t look at who is, and just ride on it, men may or may not stand for women, a women, always must.”
There were so many messages than I could cram in here. So I know it is not only Church that’s trying to make leap in that direction. Being a man, living in a male-dominant society, it is easy to climb the ladder of successes speaking against women, it is hard doing it other way.
I know when it comes to cult the challenge is two fold, you just remain shut and quiet knowing what’s happening around. So to those not quiet about it, I salute them. Societies have different growth rates, we can’t do anything about them. But let’s make absolutely sure that religion is the least of the challenges women face today, in their struggle to see a society based upon equality.
To all the Christans, and their friends who share our views on women-empowerment and equal growth, all the partner temples of God where women are allowed, change we see at different pace, but we see change for change is inevitable.
I remember the message God sent me with. Surrounded by cult ways of life and authority, women were made to look like women were my enemies. A terrifying experience of life, where I had to learn sanctity of women through sisters, divorce, mother immersed in religion, a hell lot of pressure that was completely exerting on me and I was alone. Men or women, the cult had me fighting to breathe for oxygen. Only I could see, the women were little to be blamed. It is a lesson that further experience cannot change, so until the cult rises above its inadequacies, we have Zoroastrians and who not to extol that temple of God belongs to both men and women, that God ordained it that way.
Thank you, to all such temples of God and worshipers, who gave women the worth of her worships and prayers. May God’s guidance be with you all. Gracious, God bless.
