The position of women is a significant aspect of consideration throughout the world. They make half of the world and more than that no evolution is possible without their active participation in the process of life. They are assigned diverse roles in different eras. Today women have covered a long distance towards progress and prosperity. 

Woman has crucial role in the set-up of a family. Whether she is a daughter, sister, wife or mother, she has to deal with the core issues in the scheme of familiar life. 

The position of women is not satisfactory in our society. In villages, they are more backward. They are exploited at every step. Out society is male dominant. Women have to lead their lives according to the will of their male guardians. They can not choose their path of career. They can not marry with their own free choice. They are bound to serve their family as humble servants. They can not make decision about their affairs of life. They are subjected to torture. They face violence and live under pressure. They are suppressed in every walk of life.

In cities, the situation is rather better but still need a lot of improvement. The working women have to face sexual harassment. The are commonly subjected to discrimination. They can not claim equality. They don't enjoy equal rights of movements. They are bound to obey their male members. 

In advanced countries, the situation is quite different. There is role of law. And state and indigenous culture safeguard the rights of women. Government and law enforcing agencies ensure justice to them. Help is readily available in any irregularity. Then availability of justice is easy and sure. Basic women rights are acknowledge by everyone. Women are given equal opportunity to flourish in every walk of life. They sometimes complain against male misconduct but their grievances are addressed properly and they are given relief in every possible way. 

In our country, there is a huge gender gap. Unfortunately, the sorrow state of affairs is generally accepted as inevitable way of life. Our women are lagging far behind than men. Some exceptional causes are also their where women are leading but majority of them is in a miserable condition.

First of all we should realize that women are also human beings like men and they have the same women rights as are entitled to men. They should be given all the  rights which are mentioned in the Declaration of Human Rights of the United Nations and in the Holy books of Islam. They should be educated like men and should given equal opportunity in every sphere of life. All these can be achieved only when we shall give them economic freedom and basic liberties as the respectable citizens of these country.
