I am a women and I should be shy and modest.
I am a women and I must be subservient to everyone I know.
I am a woman and I am useless to parents because I will get married and be sent to the husbands' house.
I am woman and I have to pay dowry according to the grooms families 'demands to get married.
I am woman and my male sibling comes first for education. Even though I am smarter, he is the one who looks after my parents when they're old, not me. Remember? I will be sent to the husbands house.
I am a woman and has anyone ever thought that am a complete person and I have my own personality, likes, dislikes, moods, feelings, wants as a human being?
Sadly this is the story of women in Bangladesh even in the 21st century. There are only two genders but the rules are so different. One gender can do literally anything they want, nothing is wrong for them but the other one is so restricted. I don't understand this concept we have been following for ages.
I agree there is a certain portion of population has changed their attitude towards women but it is a very small portion when compared to the population of Bangladesh. It's time for our grandmothers, mothers, sisters, sister - in - laws, aunts to stop saying to a girl child "You shouldn't do that because you are a girl." Women make up almost 50% of total human race and I believe that's a pretty big number. That number can make a difference. So ladies, it should be our goal to stand for our rights.
Parents, If dowry is the problem for a girl, change the system, tell groom parents you won't pay dowry for the marriage. If you think old age is the problem tell your girl that you are her responsibility too. More importantly grow her up with individuality, confidence, financial freedom so that she can take her own decisions.
I hope for the day when the girl is born and family says wholeheartedly "it's a girl".
