Why Are Women Today Much More Empowered but Still Has to Face Existential Anxiety?

We reside in a country where deities are worshipped and women are assaulted. What an irony? The beautiful culture of this place allows people to celebrate and mock at the same womanhood.     

Hilary Clinton said, "Human rights are women's rights and women's rights are human rights, once and for all.” Have we ever thought that to what extent we adopt this in our life?

Women are still condemned and harassed sexually and morally. But do you know that women have an equal right against harassment in the workplace? 

India is a country where millions of empowered women go to the office & work in big firms. Their safety is looked at by the Posh Policy.

It compels us to assume cultural forces and the undertaking of laws that how women. We all know how women are really behaved towards in society, despite legal law, teaching, jo, or earnings.

Existential Anxiety Faced by Women

India is in the embargo of the truth that women aren’t safe when alone on the roads, at a job. We are much more empowered and have learned to overcome existential anxiety.

The society cannot change, that’s why women have learned to modify their interests and behaviour. It is a sad side of our society which isn’t brought into the light.
