00:00Now, I want to ask you all, like combinedly I want to ask, do you think that women are
00:11really empowered in this society?
00:14Okay, give me one reason, it should be one line answer, I am coming to all of you, give
00:20me one line why women are still not empowered.
00:24Empowered women, society thinks that empowered means doing a job.
00:32People say that empowerment is happening, women are going to work, but doing a job
00:42is not empowerment.
00:45Empowerment means giving women their rights, giving them freedom, this is what empowerment
01:00is.
01:01Okay, okay, so she is saying that why would women need a permanent job?
01:10Okay, okay, so she is saying that why would women need a permission from any men or any
01:17person to do something they want?
01:20If they want to do a job, good enough, if they want to take care of a family, good enough.
01:25Now, why women are not empowered?
01:27I guess, as long as this question is there that if we are empowered or not, it's a proof
01:31that we are not empowered yet.
01:32And as long as there are conflicts and fights on this, that why we need feminism, we don't
01:37need feminism and why support women, as long as it's a proof that feminism is not here,
01:43empowerment is not here.
01:44Okay, okay, now give me one line why women are not empowered according to you.
01:49Due to lack of support systems and lack of job opportunities.
01:54Okay, any one of you thinks that we women are actually on the stairs of empowerment
02:02and we are improving?
02:04Yes, we are.
02:06Because we have seen the evolution in women empowerment, right?
02:10The condition of women which was in the 90s, we have come a long way.
02:15Look at you girls, standing here, sitting here and studying in this university, which
02:21the whole cause of which is women empowerment.
02:24Now, I would like to come to another question, which is, do you think women are empowering
02:31each other and they are stepping the stairs?
02:35But men also play a big role in women empowerment.
02:40So, yes.
02:42So, what do you think?
02:43How men can empower women so that both the genders or all the genders build a good society
02:51where everyone is equal?
02:53How do you feel that men should be playing their role?
02:56Ma'am, I think it should be a support, not like we are standing for each other like on
03:02shoulder to shoulder.
03:03But I think that it's very important that they get the support that a lady needs from
03:08their side also.
03:09Not just their perspective or empowerment.
03:12It's not about a single hand.
03:14If man needs that her woman has to get more successful in her life, I think he should
03:22work harder.
03:24Because without their support, no matter how much we do women, it's still patriarchal
03:28only.
03:29Because if a boy and a girl are walking together, then the wrong meaning is taken out.
03:33It's natural.
03:34Yeah, those cringy Bollywood dialogues.
03:37We all have grown up watching.
03:39Boy and girl can never be friends.
03:41Do you want to laugh on that?
03:43Because I really want to do.
03:45Okay, let's come in this row and ask girls, why do they think that men also play a big
03:54role in empowering women?
03:56Who's going to answer?
03:58My father, who is playing a role in my education.
04:02That I am developed.
04:04That's why he has helped me in my empowerment.
04:06The area where we come from, there are still a lot of girls and families in rural areas
04:11who don't support in education.
04:13Although my father doesn't come to college with me, but he made me so able that I can
04:18come here and prove myself and develop myself.
04:22That's great.
04:23Kudos to your father.
04:24There are many parents like this, especially many fathers like hers, who are actually educating
04:31their girls equal to their boys, despite of even thinking about their genders.
