In many cultures around the world women are bounded by debilitating norms, values and beliefs of the society. The values are such that they tend to throw women from one patronage to another without ever liberating them. And it has long been the prime responsibility of the society to ensure that women remain under somebody’s protection, either be it parental or conjugal.

If women are equal in each and every aspect and capable of working with the male hand in hand, then why should the word ‘feminism’ strikes in each and every debate?
