The role of women and girl empowerment is not limited to the working sector anymore. The impact is also visible in society and the environment. The management of natural resources at the family and community levels is crucially influenced by women, who are also those most touched by environmental deterioration. Women manage woods and agricultural land, as well as water, food, and fuel supplies in communities all over the world. In poor nations, women produce 60 to 80 per cent of the food.
Women can decide when and how many children to have if they have access to education, family planning, and birth control. According to the survey, women who have access to it have fewer children who are born later in life. Slower population development helps to relieve ecosystems in both rural and urban regions, allowing resources to recover from overuse without affecting local food access.
According to reports, women or girls are not able to survive weather-related calamities like tsunamis and floods since they have to care for the young and the elderly, they are not proficient swimmers, they are not proficient climbers of trees, etc.
Additionally, women are the ones who make sure that society runs smoothly. They are the ones behind the scenes. In ancient times they were considered goddesses who were worshipped and revered. In modern days women are still considered the pillar of the family. They are the ones who take care of the home and children, making sure that everything is going well. A children’s upbringing totally depends on his or her mother. A mother plants the seed of good qualities in her child, who later on help run the wheels of society.
Thus, they should be given an equal opportunity to showcase their talents without having their abilities discounted because of their gender.
