The thinking of a nation depends on how it evaluates its women. The whole world is now vocal about women's rights. Our country is not backward either. There are innumerable laws for women's education system, women's rights. Only its proper implementation is missing. In today's man dominated society, women are not backward. There is a movement of women in every action of the society.
In a patriarchal society, women are trying to outdo men. So now in the name of modernity, imitating western countries, instead of cultural outfits, their clothes have become jeans, t-shirt etc.
Of course, why they won't wear these? They are wearing just shirts. But when they wore shirts, they forget that they belongs to a secular nation, cultured society. They have their own identity, their own culture.
When they come out of the house in so-called shirts, rickshaw pullers and people from all walks of life make face to face or invisible negative comments. But a different attitude works among them. They don't care about this.
Many times women have to suffer a lot due to being very smart. This is called eve teasing.
Now the question may be, what do I mean? What is the reason for the eveteasing? current bizarre clothing of girls ?
I would say, "No, not at all." I'm not talking about that. Because, girls wearing hijab are also victims of eve-teasing. I'm just saying that modest clothing for girls doesn't completely reduce eveteasing, but it can partially reduce it. Moreover, modest clothing is a sign of elegance of any nation.
Now you can tell me - then American girls are wearing T-shirts, jeans. Where is the problem if our country's women wear them?
I will answer that you can not compare Bangladesh with America. Even a little boy can understand that Bangladesh is not America. We can't help comparing our motherland with America. Because we have a big difference with them in every field of culture.
Is it only men who are responsible for the insecurity of women in our country even today in the 50th year of independence? Aren't women in some parts? The government is not able to provide them security. There is truth in the law, there is no application. How much security our society is giving to women can be seen in some current events. But how long will it continue like this? We have to make an arrangement to protect them. The solution is possible only if everyone thinks of helping others by sacrificing personal interests.
When a girl is a victim of eve-teasing in front of us, we stand silently and watch. We don't have the courage to say or do anything. But I never thought that tomorrow sister will have this condition, no one else will move forward. So you don't just have to think about protecting yourself. You have to think about others too. Only then it's possible to ensure the safety of women in the country.
