What are some of the biggest challenges that women face today? How will these change in the next 20 years? Back then, we were taught that women were the weakest gender among them all. They were just staying at home, doing household chores and acting as a slave with their husbands. But in today's generation, being a woman is the most empowered person today. As time runs, we happened to prove our capabilities to the opposite and to the society that we can also do what they can. So then, we were already accepted in this new era. But despite of being accepted by this generation, women are still experiencing different kind of difficulties. Most of women are expressing themselves through their clothes but women today can't wear whatever they choose to wear because according to some people, they have to meet the norms of society. Some of the women of this generation tend to wear something that might see any of their skin like "crop top" and off shoulder" but some people can’t accept this because according to them, it is the reason why women are being raped and it is the other struggle that women are experiencing nowadays, being blame when they are the real victim. One reason people blame the victim is to isolate themselves from an unfortunate incident and thereby affirm their own invulnerability to the risk. By marking or blaming the victim, some may see the victim as separate from themselves. People get reassured by saying, "Because I am not like her because I do not do that, this would never happen to me." We need to make people realize that this isn't a helpful answer. People are blaming the women because of their clothes when in fact there’s no wrong in the way women are expressing themselves through their clothes, men are the one who has a problem because they don’t know how to respect women and it is being normalize in this generation by saying that it is natural for men to be like that in every woman because boys are boys and it causes them to have courage to continue abusing women. These norms can be changed in the next 20 years when future parents from this generation learned how to teach their future son to respect women, so the dilemma is generally because of boys who don't know how to respect women because they don't have enough knowledge of how to appreciate every woman. We must teach our boys to be selfless and gentle, rather than selfish and entitled. There are some tips on how they can teach their sons to respect women. When you see disrespect, talk about it. Ask your sons how it leaves them feeling. How does it make the victims feel? What are better ways of responding to it? Such conversations promote empathy and some perspective, and help our boys develop social awareness and conscience. Our future sons should be learning about healthy relationships where people love one another and express that love in healthy, functional ways. They ought to learn more than sex mechanics. They need to consider their context and engagement. If there's no true engagement, guys don't think there's any emotion involved. Boys must realize that they should not be allowed to contact a woman without her express consent. They're not allowed to kiss her without her permission. They're not going to be involved with her without her permission. Let your sons know that porn is out of bounds. Teach them why. Currently, statistics suggest 99% of boys have viewed pornography by age 15. We must turn this around. Surround the boys you parent or the boys at work with good men. Be a great example.
