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 23rd 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 21st
century girls and we should learn how to negotiate. We should have professional
career, we can be a decision maker.
