Empowerment to break Stereotypes

 

Women are often misjudged for their fragileness and softness when it comes in dealing such difficult situation. When the COVID-19  had shut the world down, it was a the start of a new unexpected life to live in. It turned the world upside down with its people. Millions  of people were under hardships and difficulties and has been struggling to survive. In celebrating the women’s month, this ought to recognise the difficulties and rough paths that had been trailed by women amidst pandemic and to give recognition to their triumph in surviving an unfortunate situations.





When it comes to surviving, it requires a great strength and endurance. Frontliners are the ones that has been moving and keep on performing their duties as a public servant. To all women frontliners: to the nurses, doctors, policewomen, politicians, guard lady, saleslady, teachers and etc. These people are the ones that deserves to honor and to show gratitude to. When the world had shut down, they did not stop yet they continued to serve for the public. Without such heroic actions, we may not be able to survive and go through the darkest phase of our lives. These people are also a family member where they also have a family to go home to and waiting for them, despite the danger that they had to go through and might bring danger to them and their family, they had choose to help and serve for the public people. Furthermore, there are heroic actions that were not shown and given to the public eye, the act of surviving mothers especially to those unemployed and single mothers. The rate of unemployment in our country had increased still due to the pandemic. Scarcity of daily needs because of unemployment and without a stable source of income are the reason why millions of people were barely living amidst pandemic. However, every problem has its own solution, there is always an alternative way to do. Online selling has become more popular and with that, people started to got up on their own feet and survived the unfortunate circumstances. Women had become more resilient and empowered due to the rough path that they had gone through.



Everyone had a battle to win, had a rough path to go through and had a demon to fight to. Amidst pandemic, scarcity and difficulties arose that subsequently made millions of people to suffer. To all the women that barely lived amidst pandemic and eventually survived such unfortunate circumstances, their resiliency deserves a recognition. Women had been breaking the stereotype about them and has been proving the capability that they possess, women are empowered.
