Har saal 8 March ko poore vishwa mein Mahila Diwas yaani International Women’s Day manaya jaata hai. Yeh din mahilaon ke samman mein manaya jaata hai, unke sangharsh, safalta aur samaj ke prati unke yogdan ko sarahne ke liye. Is din ka uddeshya sirf celebration nahi, balki mahilaon ke adhikaron ke prati jagrukta badhana bhi hai.
Aaj ke samay mein mahilaon ne har shetra mein apna prabhav chhoda hai – chahe woh science ho, education, politics, business, ya sports. Fir bhi, kai jagahon par mahilaon ko ab bhi gender inequality, workplace discrimination, domestic violence, aur education se vanchit hone jaisi samasyaon ka samna karna padta hai. Isi liye Mahila Diwas ka mahatva aur bhi badh jaata hai.
Mahila Diwas ka Itihaas
Mahila Diwas ki shuruaat 20vi sadi ke shuruat mein hui thi, jab Europe aur America mein mahilaon ne apne voting rights aur behtar kaam ki sthitiyon ke liye aandolan shuru kiya tha. Pehli baar yeh din 1909 mein America mein manaya gaya. 1911 mein kai European deshon ne ise apnaya. 1975 mein United Nations ne ise official roop diya aur tab se har saal 8 March ko Mahila Diwas manaya jaata hai.
Bharat mein Mahilaon ka Yogdan
Bharat mein bhi mahilaon ne har kshetra mein apni chhavi banayi hai. Rani Lakshmi Bai, Sarojini Naidu, Indira Gandhi, Kalpana Chawla, Kiran Bedi, Mary Kom, aur PV Sindhu jaise anek naam prerna ka strot hain. Aaj bhi shehar ho ya gaon, mahilayein apne dum par parivaar, samaaj aur desh ko aage badha rahi hain.
Mahila Diwas humein yaad dilata hai ki ek samarth aur sashakt samaj tabhi banega jab mahilaon ko barabari ka avsar milega. Education, swasthya, suraksha aur rozgaar ke kshetra mein mahilaon ka aage badhna desh ke vikas ke liye anivarya hai.
Is din kai schools, colleges, NGOs aur sarkari sansthanon mein karyakram, debates, seminars, aur sammaan samaroh ka aayojan hota hai. Isse naari sashaktikaran ko bal milta hai aur logon mein jaagrukta badhti hai.
Ant mein, Mahila Diwas sirf ek din nahi, balki ek soch hai. Humein har din mahilaon ka samman karna chahiye, unke adhikaron ki raksha karni chahiye aur unhe aisa mahaul dena chahiye jahan ve bina bhay ke apni zindagi jee saken. Tabhi asli arth mein Mahila Diwas apna uddeshya poora karega.
