There are millions of women throughout the world who live under oppression, abuse, and violence. They are servants to the men in their families and enjoy very few privileges as responsible citizens in their society. They make very few decisions, and they live under the cultural barrier that diminishes them as individuals or productive members of our world. For many of them, there is very little hope for improvement for a better life. They live and die subjugated by men who believe females are inferior species, born to serve man, and therefore are destined to carry out a life of servitude as second-class people who are denied basic human privileges that men have acquired from their fathers. We must acknowledge the fact that women and men are different, without the factor of the superiority of one over the other. When an entire culture subjugates its women, it is destined to stay at a nonprogressive state without significant development in its society. Women are a valuable resource in a society. If we deny that resource to ourselves, then we deny the quest for improvement for freedom and peace. It is the worth of the individual that should be considered to place each person in the right place, where he or she can be of benefit to the culture and society in which he or she lives. No man has the right to subjugate another. The value of life is precious for every man, woman, and child. All must work together and cooperate on the principle based on self-respect.
