women and our society

Have you ever met a family complaining bitterly about them giving birth to female children alone?

Have you seen a woman brutally abused and thrown away just because she gave birth to female children alone?

Have you come across a family that could barely eat a square-meal but are ready to go polygamous just because they have only female children?

Welcome to my blog great steemian, we love women and love talking about them, this is why I am in steemit community, to advocate for women until humanity comes back to their full senses about the wonderful and adorable creature called woman.

It's a question that ceaselessly leaps my mind; why is it that many people till date find it difficult to understand life?

A female child should be seen as the most precious gift of God through nature but unfortunately to some, the reverse seems to be the case, more especially in some cultures of the world where female children are regarded as secondclass human beings, wives are abused for giving birth to female children and those female children are denied their rights to life, rights to choice and right to education.

Stop the abuse and see the true light!

I was moved to put up these post for enlightenment and for encouragement; for enlightenment to those who still unable to see the inestimable value of a female child, and as encouragement to people who already had already stood their ground to make life worth living for women and female children.

There is no deficiency in a woman child as it relates to life's purpose, a child is born for or to retain procreation sustaining human existence on earth , for happiness and for the wellbeing of a society, so if you follow life in this light, you'll only but to find out that female children are as good and equal to male children.

Taking it from there effects on our society, women are said to be more intelligent than men when it comes to the real issues of life.

Women are the backbone of every society, that's why everyone have need for a woman in their individual lives, even hardened criminals could be addressed by women in their lives.

All over the world, we have countless of virtuous women who have impacted our world positively, from families to business, and up to government.

So in that light, I've done some research on few of great womem of our time as it relates to entrepreneurship and business.

Today I decided to pick just one from West African Country but maybe in my next post I may continue to show us many others around the world.
