Why Financial Freedom Is Necessary For Women
As an Asian woman this is my concern that we women need financial freedom and this is only possible when we are well educated and self dependent. Mostly parents are concerned about the safety of their girl child and they are right at their place as often found Asian women are less safe at their working place.
According to personal point of view, all girls are not as lucky as I am. I have started freelancing at the end of 2013 when I was a student and now I've achieved enough financial freedom by the grace of Almighty Allah. If I won't be serious about my study in school day, I may not be able to achieve this freedom. So I feel myself really very blessed for this. I'm also honored that I ensure my freedom and self respect as never borrowed a single penny from anyone (Praise to be Almighty Allah)
That was my story but all stories are not as good as mine. Yesterday a video made me shocked. One of my facebook contact and a very bad video licked about the girl I met in my previous hostel. It was a video where she was a victim of abuse, a man was taking video when she was asking for towel from her bathroom. I was really very shocked and half an hour was unable to focus in my work. I don't know that she did it willingly or blackmailed by someone. Her social media account posted the video by the man who took this video and his voice was like an old man. He was using abusive words to her. Whatever, there would be two facts. Either it was because she had problem of money or she would be blackmailed by a culprit.
Whatever would be the reason, if a girl or woman financially stable never going to do something like that willingly. As far I knew she was working in a office and had good salary but the video changed the story for a glance. If she is a victim, I must pray for her safety. A woman who has capability to bear a family will always can hold her honor and dignity and never need to compromise with her self respect.
Sometimes women unluckily get a husband who is unable to bear her responsibilities and also spoil life by doing domestic violence. Most of the Asian women doesn't get support from parents after getting married. Many woman compromise for their kids and tolerate domestic violence. So here we can see how financial freedom is important for a woman.
When a woman financially stable she can bear the expenses of her kids and family and that is something we should appreciate. I saw many men scold their women because she can't earn and she is a burden of a family. Though all men are not like that but as a woman we should be self dependent and save our self respect. Educated women mostly find a way to be financially stable and they can save their honor and dignity.
Depending on others is like being a parasite so as a woman we shouldn't allow ourselves to be a parasite. We should work on our financial freedom, scopes or chances doesn't wait for us, we need to create it. When we try with our best, trust me Almighty help us and open several doors of opportunities. Women's life is not so easy but we can work on it to make it easier.
Very much agrèe with you dear . As a woman when I had a job in school i really enjoyed this financial freedom.
