Women, We are Precious

I think the most pressing woman's rights are pornography and discrimination of gender. There are so many issues about pornography, not only in Indonesia, but also in many countries all around the world.

What makes me sad is that there are many people who stand up for human rights, especially for women, but women themselves are the one who are doing the action (pornography) and they draw controversies.

Porn videos and porn magazines are some of the example. In addition, there is also discrimination of gender everywhere. Most men think that they are much better than women.

Therefore, many people consider that women are lower than men. But it is time for change.  Women are  strong, and can become more powerful than men. And to me, women are like precious diamonds that has to be put in a fine place, well cared, with expensive price.  

But women must honor and appreciate themselves. If women do not appreciate themselves, and do not improve their potential, it will all be useless.  So let's us girls protect ourselves, and stand up for our dignity.
