This refers to women empowerment. Woman represents humanity’s half. God has given her a respectable status, then why should any individual or society deny her position by keeping her illiterate?  If you turn the pages of history you will see saints, philosophers and leaders pleading the case of literacy and education of women. We must fight against the forces who oppose the education of women. There is no wrong in educating a girl. It has not only been the desire of the past thinkers but the present world in not going to bear an illiterate woman. Nobody from the society can deny the fact that there are countless illiterate women in our society waiting for a match. When a man is not ready to accept an illiterate companion why should he not make efforts to bring an educational revolution among females? In the modern world woman can achieve education from a number of sources. Besides adult education system she can achieve education from TV, Radio and computers. Women must be curious to gain more and more knowledge. Let’s all understand the importance of women empowerment and education for a bright future. That is the only way we can maintain a balance in the society.
