My Wish If I Get the Power to Change Something Would Be…

G.D. Anderson once said, ‘Feminism isn’t about making women strong. Women are already strong. It

is about changing the way the world perceives the strength.’

Without any further deliberation I would definitely use my wish to change the mindset of everyone

with regard to women. Discrimination of and prejudice against women are not just minor mistakes

that can be overlooked. They are crimes against them.

To all the discriminators out there, this is what I would like to ask: Is there a proof of any divine
proclamatio n that states that women are weaker and feebler than men? I hope I am writing on behalf

of most readers when I say that no God has decreed anything like that in the scriptures. It takes simple

common sense to understand that all of us were created as equals and that class, caste, religion and

most importantly, gender are social constructs.

Writing about this reminds me of Malala Yousafzai, a Pakistani who stood against the Taliban and

fought for women’s education. She is one of my biggest inspirations. I also look up to Indira Gandhi
who is known as the ‘Iron Lady of India’. Both the aforementioned women along with many other

great girls and ladies, have proven and continue to prove to the world that nothing is impossible for

the female of the species.

I want every girl to know that:

Her voice can change the world!

Where there is a woman, there is magic!
Women are as worthy as men;

Women are as strong!
