कभी शबनम कभी शोला , कभी माशा कभी तोला
कभी बूँद कभी मोती , कभी ज्वाला कभी ज्योति 
पल में छाँव, पल में  धूप , नारी तेरे कितने रूप 
हो कोई भी रूप तेरा , हर रूप में ख़ूबसूरत है 
माँ ,बहन ,पत्नी ,बेटी  > नारी प्रेम की मूरत है 


Challenges :

Some challenges still exist in the path of Women empowerment & Gender parity :

> Female Foeticide
> "Girl is a Liability & Boy is an asset" mindset
    (Surprisingly even women share this mindset)
>  Dowry custom
>  Little say in decision making
> Domestic Violence against women
> Crime against women on street
> Crime against women at Work place
> Portrayal of women as objects of desire in Ads/ Movies
> Rural - Urban Gap in women empowerment

Conclusion :
 
Whatever a Man gives to a Woman, she multiplies and gives it back.
Give her groceries-she gives you a meal
Give her a House-she gives you a home
Give her a sperm-she give you a baby
Give her a caring smile-she gives you her heart

Give her a little push - she gives you a big kick.

Women make this world a beautiful place to be.
Today is the day to celebrate womanhood.

Happy Women's Day !
