Women Has the Right to Have a Good Education

Betty Friedan’s “The Feminine Mystique” talks about how women are denied of their

basic need to develop and grow. Women are constantly linked to household work and tak-

ing care of the family. Friedan mentioned one proponent that once said education should

be solely for men because they are the income earner in the family. Women, on the other

hand, do not need education because they could not use their degree after completing col-

lege. Women merely end up at home taking care of everyone’s needs.

The statement above is clearly an indication of the existence of gender gap even in

home chores. Over the last 50 years, more and more women have gone to work, the gender

gap in wages has declined, and fathers have been increasingly invested in taking care of the

children. However, in the 1980s the "housework gap" had largely ceased to diminish. Men

have negated the idea that they should do all the work outside the home and decided to

stay at home and take care of the chores and the children instead. Within a heterosexual

marriage, where a man and woman are involved in an intimate relationship, the two form the

core of a nuclear family. In the case where the woman is the primary provider, the more she

gains, the less her husband will add to the housework. Moreover, obviously, to the degree

that women downsize their profession desire so as to concentrate on local issues – child-

care in addition to housework – this disparity at home sustains imbalance at work.

Women and young women in the development aspects are regularly denied the once

in a lifetime opportunity for good education. Absence of education limits prospects, dimin-

ishes family salary, lessens wellbeing, puts women and young women in danger of dealing

and abuse, and restrains the financial progression of the country. Education supports

women in various ways. It increase more prominent information, aptitudes, self-assurance

and abilities, improving their very own life prospects—and, thusly, an informed lady gives

better sustenance, social insurance, and training for her family. Education all around is rec-

ognized as the most dominant methods for enabling young women and women and shield-

ing them from the infringement of their human rights. Putting resources into young wom-

en' and women' education can change, and even spare, the lives of young women and

women, and the lives of their families and networks. It is a standout amongst the best ap-

proach to accomplish positive, reasonable change on the planet, for everybody.

Education empowers women to assume more prominent responsibility for her life

and increase consideration in basic leadership forms, which releases her capability to con-

tribute socially and financially to her family's and network's prosperity. However, today, a

huge number of young women and women over the world live in crippling destitution and

are denied their entitlement to education. Notwithstanding, when education is free, the ex-

pense of school outfits, books and transport can be restrictive for poor women. There are

different impediments too including social conventions and mentalities, and desires that

young women and women should bear the weight of household tasks and care for their

families, would all be able to obstruct their going to class.

Women deserve to receive good education and seek employment that could support

her needs and the needs of her family. Gone are the days when men are the family’s main

provider and income earner. There are currently various job opportunities that require the

skills and characteristics only women possess. The labor market has vastly changed over

the past years. The labor industry has now accommodated many women, hence enabling

them to improve their quality of life and help their family.
