Day for women to plan for future - retired director of Aesthetic Education

Today is the day for women to plan for the future, said retired director of Aesthetic Education Miranda Hemalatha in a message to mark International Women's Day.

The message:Today is International Women's Day. What do we do? Is it of any importance to us? What about the other 364 days. There are many questions before us to think, to think very seriously.

Everything in life starts in the family. What are our duties and rights in the family as a child, grown up girl, wife, a mother, and a grand mother. On the day of women, we should understand our duties and rights, and today is the day we should evaluate where we are . Have we fulfilled our duties? Have our rights been given?.

Think seriously first about our duties. If we have performed our duties to our best, it should give self satisfaction, pride and honour.

If the degree varies, make up your mind to do your best next year.

You must also try to win the good will of the other family members to get your rights. Trust yourself live in a way that others also will trust.

That will help you to solve most of your problems regarding your rights.

We as women are also responsible for most of the family problems and disputes.

Make it a point to find out where we have gone wrong before accusing the others. Today is a special day for that.

Women as members of society have different roles in different levels. Sri Lankan women have changed their behaviour, cultural values, dresses, performing arts and many other areas not for the development of the society but for its destruction.

Many social problems have cropped up for women due to their own actions and reactions.

In some cases it is the women who create problems for other women.

Today is the special day not for the women's organizations to put up thamashas and enjoy, It is the day for all women to plan for another year to do better, based on the experiences of the previous year without prejudices.
