Happy International Women’s Day!
The article on celebrating International women’s day started over a sweet hot conversation between a Dad and a struggling daughter in the field of science.
Dad: Hey! What’s up to enjoy some time with us you are working as if you are soon getting a Nobel prize for your work with lots of money.
Daughter: Hey! I am writing an interesting scientific proposal as the deadline is nearby.
Dad: Are you getting a salary that will cover your basic needs and add to some savings
or it’s a passion work job with no time bar.
Daughter: Dad we are passionate researchers. We work for our passion not for money.
Dad: Look at your siblings, they earn twice as much as you and are socially and economically sound too. My passionate researcher you are so engaged in your schemes, methodology, reactions, and column you have no time to look around. Let me know the names of the 10 or maybe at least five passionate women scientists or your role models.
Daughter: Awww….. Dad! I am really busy right now. It’s time for me to focus and there are a lot of women role models in my field. I will make you explain them someday. By the way, you know a lot of my work whether it is reactions and columns or our outcome as Nobel laureates than my sibling work where I am happy that you understood what I am doing throughout.
Though the conversation was hot I felt somewhere I have missed having a general awareness about my women’s race in my field of science or understanding where we as fellow women contribute to the field of science and technology. The literature reports revealed a lot of gender gap in science( 29.3 % of world females are involved as researchers as part-time full-time official as stated by UNESCO).
The picture of famous Nobel laureates was taken at the 5 th Solvay international conference on electrons and photons in 1927 showed one lady is equal to 28 men’s or an example of the gender gap of science. I don’t want to describe the reasons causes or facts because that are already known or for us that why we celebrate International women’s day as the days were generated by United Nations to bring public awareness and address the global problems and hence at least on 8 th of March as an international women’s day we will be able to have the actual status of women once a year in every direction whether She as a hero or a victim card. The article might not discuss the cause or the issues but it can surely address that much more women’s strength is needed in the wings of science.
However, celebrating women’s day can’t only be about feminism, equality of rights, or gender-biased but it can be understanding of biased thoughts over the generations through rituals, traditions, culture, and society which has helped the way we have been today. The blame game has to come to an end and a windmill of new ideas and innovations has to start. The one who has grown up or is well established can make other women fellow to direct the path for many in sheds of their lights what an actual celebration needs! When there is unity within us more is the fruitful diversity in the fields of knowledge. So let us celebrate the day with new energy, resolutions, new paths don’t matter the field because if we stand strong we make strong. It’s not about the blame game it’s about the passion of being true to yourself, finding new routes to your dreams because it’s not about where we stand it’s about how unitedly we carry out each step, as every single step makes a lot of difference. So let’s make the difference and develop our independent fruitful world of happiness. Happy International Women’s Day!
