#UseYourAnd and Take a Stand

Mother Teresa

We are all a bit sexist in a way. Whenever we see a woman who achieved something, we label them. Blessed Teresa of Calcutta is known for her service, Marie Skłodowska-Curie is known for her pioneering research on radioactivity. It is true that they excelled in their fields, but it doesn't mean that is all they are. Every woman can be much more than they are. CEO of a successful company can also be a guitarist, a good friend, caring mother and much more. We should tut an end to the one-dimensional labels that limit their potential to dull their radiance.


So Gillette Venus came up with a campaign #UseYourAnd. They invite everyone to take a stand against one-dimensional labeling on Women.

So doing my small part, I have decide to write about this woman I know. For every human born in this world, the first woman they know is Mother. Yes, I am going to talk about my mother and she is the greatest person I ever know. She is not a corporate lady nor a celebrity so the world might not know about her and appreciate her, but she means the world to me. She is a very hard working woman and being a small farmer her hard work might not have taken to great heights, but everyone in our village knows that she is hardworking. She is not only a hard working person but also a caring mother. She knows what is best for me and my brother. She is the best mom in the world. She is also the best daughter. My grand parents love her so much and she was by their side when they needed her. That may sound so normal to you, but after marriage, many women in our village will always stick with her husbands family. They do so much in her new family and they forget the parents who raised her. But my mom always takes care of her parents. That doesn't mean she care about my father's family less. She looked after her mother-in-law and father-in-law as her own parents. My parents are the happiest couple I've ever come across. My point is that women are much more than we think. There is no single label that can describe her. There are many things that describe her. My mom is a good farmer, mother, wife, daughter, daughter-in-law and much more. 



So next time if you see a lady and if she is an actress, a musician, politician, a business woman, a poet, they are much more. They could be a politician and musician. They could be an actress and a poet.
