A woman is more than her body. She's not just a pretty face. Her beauty is within, in the 'woman' she is inside, and that is what matters.
A woman is more than her body. She’s not just a pretty face. Her beauty is within, in the ‘woman’ she is inside, and that is what matters.
She’s not just a pretty face, To brighten up your day, She’s not just a pretty face, To laugh with and have your way, She’s not just a pretty face , To massage your ego and pass your time, Shes not just a pretty face, To be the background tune in your rhyme.
You thought you could undermine her might, Because of your limited short sight, But such is the power of truth and light, That she is destined to touch new heights.
You say women are equal, Yet you belittle her worth, You demean her efforts and sweat, When you associate success to her gender at first
You’re wired to think that a woman be shy, Despite being in an era where she’s taught to ask why, You’re wired to think that if she drinks she’ll fall all over the place, Despite being in an era where women have capacity to overtake you in the rat race, You’re wired to think she can either be one thing or be another, Despite being an era where she’s trained to be a daughter, friend, employee and mother
The next time you downplay a woman calling her just a pretty face, Remember to first match up with the challenges in her days, She’s not just living up to the years she was educated, She’s also fighting a silent battle to ensure she’s celebrated, Remember she’s not just a pretty face but a little bit of pretty all, Remember she’s not just a pretty face but an epitome of something that rises higher each time she falls
She’s not just a pretty face!

People say that women are the greatest enemies of women. I vehemently disagree. It is the patriarchal mindset that makes women believe in the wrong ideology.
The entire world celebrates International Women’s Day on March 8, 2024. It should be a joyful day, but unfortunately, not all women are entitled to this privilege, as violence against women is at its peak. The experience of oppression pushes many women to choose freedom. As far as patriotism is concerned, feminism is not a cup of tea in this society.
What happens when a woman decides to stand up for herself? Does this world easily accept the decisions of women in this society? What inspires them to be free of the clutches of the oppression that women have faced for ages? Most of the time, women do not get the chance to decide for themselves. Their lives are always at the mercy of someone, which can be their parents, siblings, husband, or children.
In some cases, women do not feel the need to make any decisions. They are taught to obey the patriarchal system, which makes them believe that they are right. In my family, I was never taught to make decisions on my own. It was always my parents who bought dresses and all that I needed.
It is shameful that in today's world too, women are abused and even killed for giving birth to a girl, and the infant's life is also of no value.
Trigger Warning: This deals with domestic violence, suicide, and violence against women, and may be triggering to survivors.
I am so glad that the esteemed courts are now giving the much-required verdicts regarding certain ideologies that were not at all entertained earlier. I mean we all have studied this much biology at our school level and it is our duty (our generation) to educate our elders about it.
Why someone have to lose a life to bring such awareness to the society. Delhi High Court gave this judgement concerning a case that filed by the deceased daughter’s parents against her in-laws. She committed suicide as she was harassed and tortured for dowry and giving birth to two daughters.
