Why are women treated as second-class?

Last March 8, we celebrated the women’s month. This is an important celebration because it is like refreshment to our minds that women are important in our nation. Actually all of us came from women!

But why are they treated as second-class? Why are they treated cruelly? Why are they treated as an object that is controlled by men?! Women are not treated equally with men. Don’t they know that women are also important?! They have let the women live a life wherein they are helpless, and not cared of. I can say this because I’m also a woman!

This morning, we watched a video during our reading class entitled, “Sex Trafficking: We’re so Syndicated Ma’am.” It tells about the abuse of women today. Trafficking is recruiting women and blackmailing them to go to other countries and have a wonderful work and big salary. But upon reaching there, they are forced to work as prostitute. Isn’t it unfair? They are only dreaming of having a good life for their family! They went in that country to work and have a big salary for their family. But why are they treated like this? Why?!!!!!!

It’s because of money! Sex Trafficking is the most common business right now. In this business men are playing. But what kind of toys are they playing? You’re right! Women! They are playing the women! It’s a very hard in the part of a woman to be treated like that! They are just doing it for their family but why?! I know that that’s the most common question of women right now? Why are we like this? Why are we in this situation that we are helpless? Women are crying out for justice! They should be treated equally to men! It’s unfair! It’s unfair! They should be treated gently! They should be treated with love. They should also experience the feeling of being the superior for something. Women must be trusted with something that is a challenge.

I can really say that we, women, are strong! We are not weak! We can do things that men can do! We can also achieve things that are hard for men to achieve. We women are brave and industrious. Suppose the husband is too lazy to work for the family, who take risks for the family to be able to eat everyday? Who finds a way for the family to eat three times a day? Who is suffering for the pressures and the problems of the children? Isn’t it the women? Isn’t it that they’re the ones who are taking the lead of carrying the burdens and sufferings of the children? Who is doing everything for the family to be together and taking care of the family? And who is the light of the family? Isn’t it the women?

Why don’t we scan ourselves and find out if we ourselves are also respecting women? And we must also learn to give more respect to our mother, because we owe our life to her.
