Human beings are the superior creature of God, and women cannot be excluded from this category. Nevertheless, traditional thinkers particularly of
patriarchal society give them the status of second being. Those orthodox minds remain adamant on their stance. Unfortunately, the proponents of this mentality are
myriad of number that their opinion matters. Owing to this a woman has been striving for her rights since ages. No matter how many rights she is bestowed with, these
rights are not being recognized, if recognized to some extent, they are being snatched. This picture shows an uncivilized society. Where women are not treated
well. Contrary to this, there is a civilized Nation, who is being called civilized for some reasons, and the foremost one is, it does not indulge in the Labyrinth of first or second being. It believes in equal treatment. It does not try to play with the natural process. Civilized Nation knows that progress is not possible if the big ratio of population would remain mentally disturbed.
