International Seminar

Hello Reader!!!

After a long long time, I am going to write another blog regarding my first Internal Seminar. 

This Internal Seminar on “Gender, Identity and Career” given by Prof. Alice Clark (Author of Valued Daughters : First Generation Careen Women) at Women’s Development Cell, GLS University on 23^rd January, 2017.

Prof. Clark said that she lived in Allahabad, Baroda and Mumbai and saw the position of the women in the society. According to her it’s the time for Devolution of Daughters. She believes that all the women choose their career for Lifetime not for few years. Women in Urban Area should educated and be career oriented. Demographic Transaction should be revocable.

In her research she found that in the year 1971-72, women’s children ratio was 2.5 to 6. In the year 1980, there are 85% men worked and only 25% women worked, irony is that this ratio is still not 50%-50%. Women were not self dependent, and there are so many vices like Dowry, Child Marriage and Son Priority etc. In the year 1990, she sees the possibilities of more Careers. Women choose the professional careers in this era and sees new climate for Qualification. She strongly said that if Ur daughter is able to have professional identity, you should proud of that.

She thought women should choose late marriage, few children and long career. It’s important change in life economy. She further said that if mother who have never professional career, professional career and liberty is Imagery, their entire plan for marriage not for career and mother never against before. Only women are born the children and sky are limit for them. 

For Indian Women, she had strongly recommended that parental encouragement is very important. Women should negotiate the things which she doesn’t like. Let the marry children with professional class. Be a profession Identity for family and be service oriented. Men must allow his wife to decision making in family.

After attending this seminar, I am very thankful for Prof. Clark. She showed mirror for us, her point regarding women’s career is very strong and commendable. Yes, we are 21^st century girls and we should learn how to negotiate. We should have professional career, we can be a decision maker.
