ABSTRACT

The preparation of the future is exactly in the actions of present steps, which must be initiated by individuals to meet the portion of desirable ends. Society exhibits the cultural trend of oppressing the vulnerable attributes of society without any notion of humanity and idealism.  The conceptual ideology has the preparation of giving superstitious and unrealistic dogma to the massacre of individuals.

The call for this exhibition is to point out the view, that the more the vulnerability of minorities is increased, there would be drastic effort in societal sustainability, today women and children are specifically identified as the most vulnerable portion, which is the biggest asset of the entire human species. The world has changed into a world with unjustified gender stereotypes which devalue cultural values and indicate the toxic part of male identity as supreme, many illiterate women are being brutally assaulted by the overly emphasized toxic masculinity of their family men and women. Deeper in family issues, we can conclude that all individual freedom and liberty of women are prisoned after marriage, most specifically in the religious rural region. There is a massive war and struggle that the silence of rural women goes through on daily basis. A few of the problems can be specifically mentioned as sanitary problems, unhygienic sanitary facilities, daily struggle for water resource facilities, the menstruation hygiene struggle, and false unethical stereotypes women face every month which stops them from empowering themselves in rural conditions. unavailability of a Proper menstruation kit. Restrictive circles and boundaries for women, pressurized marriage at a very young age with naivety tons of family responsibility, and loads of household chores. Unbelievable religious practices and norms women are prone to follow. The maternity stress, no proper nutrition for the mother during pregnancy, and female feticide. The traumatic and undesirable family pressure during pregnancy and no proper food intake led to malnutrition of the child. This circle of livelihood of rural and tribal women just portrays the inefficiency of societal development.
