Why the World Still Needs Feminists?

fem-i-nism: "The doctrine advocating social, political, and all other rights of women equal to those of men."

This post is two days late for the International Women's Day but I believe that every day is women's day. Why do women need a special day in the year to be recognized and celebrated? Shouldn't everyday be a celebration of womanhood? But the truth is far from it.
Women the world over, not only in India, are abused physically, sexually and mentally.
In India, every three minutes, a crime is committed against a woman. Every six hours, a young married woman is burned, beaten to death or driven to commit suicide. And according to the third National Family Health Survey published in 2006 (NFHS 3), over 40 percent of Indian women have been victims of domestic violence at some stage in their lives.
Domestic violence is not restricted to an illiterate or poor population. 60 percent of women killed in the United States are victims of domestic violence, and it is the leading cause of injury among women in the age group of 15 - 44. In an educated country like Switzerland, statistics show that 12.6% of Swiss women suffer from physical violence, while 11.6% have faced sexual violence.
And we're not listing the small but awful acts against females such as stalking, eve-teasing, purdah, curbing freedom etc.

This is why we need women education and independence. We need feminists to bring justice to such women, to raise awareness about such crimes and to help the abused women lead a normal life.

Why do you think women, especially the ones who are educated, bear all this abuse? One of the reasons is social conditioning. Many women are raised in their family to agree to what their men say. Another big reason could be that these women don't feel confident to live independently, to raise their voice against injustice and don't think they have enough moral/financial support. Also, the social stigma, especially in India, associated with women who go against their men or family is a big deterrent. In all these cases, education and hence financial independence would play a key role in helping the women out of such situations.

Many urban men think that women have all the freedom and rights in the society and that feminists are women who want much more than equality.
I do agree that there are some women who try to take advantage of their womanhood to get special privileges. But who says all women are perfect?

For centuries, women have been considered by men (fathers, brothers or husbands) as their or their family's property/pride.
I wish such men would know the answer to the eternal question of "What women want". This was so correctly answered in the story of King Arthur and the Witch. A woman only wants to be in charge of her own life, to have the freedom to choose. And when all the women in the world get this freedom, there'll be no need of feminists.
Until then, all you men out there, let the feminists do their job.
