WOMEN EMPOWERMENT
BY S kumar
Women empowerment can be defined as promoting their ability and giving them rights and dignity. Women empowerment is very important for a peaceful and prosperous world. Women are the key to development. The condition of women in our country is still not up to the mark. The constitution of India has given them equal rights but they still are not so developed.
Gender equality is the basic human right. But still girls are seen as less able and valuable then boys. Crimes against women are also increasing. Sometimes they are also humiliated at their workplaces. As many as twelve million underage girls are married every year.
For empowering girls we have to change the mindset of our society. We have to give them education and skill so that they can earn with dignity. There must be very strict and fast action in the cases of crime against women .We all should make efforts to empower women because they are the key for the social change.

(SUMMARY)
Dr Sadao and his wife Hana were in a state of conflict for a quite long time. They couldn't throw a wounded man again into the sea. The thought if they gave shelter to him in their house they could be arrested. Handing him over to the police would have meant throwing him into the jaws of death. Ultimately the duty of a doctor over powered all the petty considerations and they decided to help the wounded American who was their enrmy. Dr Sadao operated the man and saved his life.
But but then it became more difficult for them to give shelter to the man. The servant left the house and there was always a danger that someone might inform the presence of the white man in their house.
Dr Sadao ultimately decided to inform the General.The General promised to send his private assissns to kill the man and remove his deadd body.But he forgot .Sadao then decided to save the men's life he sent him to the nearby Island giving him all the help like food clothing flashlight and all that.
As soon as the enemy left, the servants returned and the life became normal once again. Dr Sadai operated the general and after the operation informed him that the man had escaped the General admitted that he had forgotten his promise and he advisedto keep quiet.
This is how Sadao done his duty as a doctor and as a Japanese also. In short the doctor's strategy to let the prisoner escape was the best possible solution to the problem under the prevailing circumstances.
