Women Exploitation In Modern Society’
Shumaila Siddiqui
The story of women’s struggle for equality belongs to no single feminist nor to any one organization but to the collective efforts of all who care about human rights.

If we look on the positive side of modern society than, a modern society is a women’s world. We can say clearly that most of the work are being handled by the women in today’s time. Be it at home or at office or any field or industry. They are clearly excelling in every department. But still there is sense of nuisance about being a woman in today’s time. Half of the problems came into limelight because of the social media. The problems associated with the women existed from years but there were only few who actually raise their voices on injustice or the unequal treatment they were being forced to face. Thanks to social media that we are now at least talking about it despite the results or action. It has been a game changer in awaking the so called people who thought women are just a slave and cannot do anything regardless of how much talent she has and the potential she can show whenever required. Women are now working, handling their home along with the husband and a child as well. They were born to be multitalented but it was us the society and humans who oppressed them.
Women are being treated unjustly from the time humans were created, it got so much of normalcy that it continued till this time. They are being treated badly from their home itself. Often they are held responsible for no reason. Just by putting extra salt in food she is held responsible or sometimes she failed to cook food on time, the list goes on and on. People think that they are a robot who don’t feel any emotions. They keep on commenting, torturing and judging them on every possible reason they find wrong or fussy. A woman at work place is being exploited on the dress she chose to wear. Sometimes the intelligence and the work ethic she possesses are being questioned and even they face the consequences of that because it was way better than her male contemporaries. The threats of being a woman is everywhere but the choice is yours that how you are dealing with them and the surrounding people are making you feel about that.
A woman are raped, abused, harassed at every age possible because of only the lack of awareness and the upbringing that is being given to the male sections at their home.
We need to cultivate the idea in our male member of family and friends to give respect and the space of choices a woman needs. The exploitation of women can only be decrease by slowly cultivating the respectful approach towards women in every man out there and by woman standing up on their own and raising their voice to make some noise and bring change.
