3 Equality:
As God created man and woman differently,
it shall be so that He created each and every woman to be unique in his or her
own way. We
all have gifts to share and ways in which we can shine. Men and women are equal
only to the extent that they have the same fundamental rights. Their biological
differences make them unequal in many ways. But that does not mean the
inequality makes one subservient to the other-it only means that there is a
difference in the roles they have to play. There need be one conflict on this.
There have been, over the years many role reversals and it is up to individuals
to negotiate the terms with each other. When we talk of equality, we mean it
Vis a Vis opportunities and compensation. According to the ILO mandate gender equality is a matter of human rights,
social justice, economic efficiency and sustainable development. When we
apply this term in day to day man/woman relationship, there is bound to be
conflict as equality is a relative term. Some women can outnumber men in work and vice versa. Equality is ultimately measured by an enabling environment in which men and women everywhere have access
to decent work that provides security for them and for their families.

Faith:
Just do it- that is faith.
Most of us do not succeed in life because we have little or no faith in our
capabilities. We find excuses to stop ourselves from doing anything. Faith is
to believe what we do not see and it needs tremendous self confidence to follow
this. parents, teachers, peer group, workplace colleagues….they all tend to
shatter your faith in yourself in many ways. Interestingly, Faith is associated
with religion but to me faith starts with believing in oneself. Belief,
Convictions, Trust, Hope- all these are different forms of faith. Some get fool
hardy and call it faith. When faith turns into action, only then do we see the
fruits of it. Having faith in God and writing your exams without the necessary
preparation for it will not get the desired results. When women come in for
counseling, they have neither faith in themselves nor in the counselor, so they
get stuck with their emotional dilemma. Once they walk in for help, they must
trust the guidance given and follow the suggestions. Some of them have the
potential to overcome their problem by taking corrective measures but lack the
faith to act on it. They are stuck with the word ‘can’t’ and refuse to move.
The secret of having faith in oneself is to change ‘can’t’ to ‘can’.
