How the war changed women's life?
Hello everyone!
My question for today is, how does a war change a woman's life?
World wars have changed lives of women, men and children in millions of ways. All these changes led people to change their way of thinking about gender, male and female behaviours and looks, which qualities they should have, and which roles they should assume in their families and communities...
When men were away to serve in the military, manufacturing jobs opened up to women and raised their earning power and their self-esteem. But female employment was only encouraged as long as the war was on... Once the war ended, civilian and federal policies replaced women workers with men. Some women decided to return back to domestic life, but those who wanted or had to work, well their options were limited, as men returned back home and then they pushed women out...
Well, the main point is that: women have proved that they can do "men's" work and do it well...
Wartime work proved to the whole world that women aren't bad, also they embraced the wartime challenges and enjoyed it's benefits, but everyone (men and women) then went back to their roles, as I said before...
Thank you for reading!!!😁
So, my questions are:
1) Do you think, that men and women can do the same work?
2) How else does war and conflict affect women?

A great discussion starter, and one that it is important to think about in relation to the current war between Russia and Ukraine. I have changed your second question slightly, so I am keen to see what Topical Talkers think about it. Well done!
Thanks you so much!!!
The truth is that it is going to affect women a lot, without mincing words. They are going to have to be strong!
yes amazing comment👍

very nice topic... When war occurs, there is a great change that takes place in the state and on all segments of society.... It is possible that all the methods that have been used to break prejudice and discrimination have not been able to change the opinion of some, but it is possible for war to do the same, for example, a man's feet may be cut off as a result of being injured during the war and thus He became unable to be forced at that time to take his wife out to work in order to take care of him and his children, and thus he returns to his thinking and appreciates the role of women and that she is able to work as he was.
On the other hand... many families may be separated during the war, when women have many responsibilities that make them work and get money to continue living.
yes totally agree🥰
Your words are true, and these are the results of wars that make women bear more than their capacity to bear responsibility
True
In your opinion... what are the responsibilities that fall on women during the war?
One of the most important responsibilities on her shoulders is that she becomes the primary responsible for the house and children, and that she must provide for its requirements, here she must search for a job or a source of livelihood to support her family.

Well, for the first question, women and men actually participate in the same business, but it is preferable for men to work in some professions, such as the army, but this does not mean that women cannot participate in the army, but they must have personal and physical strength, And to be able to withstand psychological pressure.
As for the second question, the war negatively affects the woman. If the woman is confident in herself, she will lose her personality after the war due to psychological pressure and fear, and also the war can cause many physical injuries, or psychological injuries, such as disorder, and this It affects women negatively, and therefore this affects society negatively as well.
Do you think the same applies for men too?
In fact, this is related to the strength and courage of the man. If the man is in the army, for example, this will not affect him at all, but if he works in a store selling electrical appliances, for example, this will certainly affect him.
I think this applies to women as well.
True
yes i do agree. good job🥶
Can you explain why you agree?
Yes, the woman must be confident in herself and her personality and we must encourage her.
True true 💯💝😊😊

Well yes, it is said in my country that what a man can do, a woman does better.I believe that just as a man can be a pilot, so can a woman. Just as a man can be a mechanic, so can a woman. Even as a man can be a cab driver, so can a woman and so on. We were all created with the intellectual and physical characteristis. It was never ordained that one person should have an ability greater than another. We are all given cups, but we just have to fill it up with water. Going to school, learning how to be perfect in a specific occupation and then practising over and over again is what we can all do not minding the gender.
Yes, it is true, because we are all human beings with equal rights and duties
Yes ,we are equal human beings 💯💯

I believe men and women can do the same jobs no matter the condition they're under.
War and conflict affects women in different ways. Some lose their husbands and sons and end up suffering from PTSD but as you said, it also gave people the chance to see that women could do same things as men.
Could you please share what PTSD is?
PTSD is the acronym for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. It is a mental condition that follows a traumatic event such as the loss of a family member in a terrible way, assault, abuse of any form or sudden separation of a family.
When a person is diagnosed with PTSD, it is noticed that the person usually has flashbacks of the event that lead to seizures or violent reactions, depending on how far into the flashback the person went. Most times the flashbacks are triggered by many things in the person's environment which is closely related to the event that led to the diagnosis. The person suddenly becomes antisocial, especially towards those who could remind them of the incidence, or unnecessarily aggressive.

Yes I believe that both male and female can do the same jobs and properly females can do it better. I think that females are highly affected by wars due to sexual harassment ,human trade and so on. I think that due to the in access to the internet or the outer world. Women could be treated any how because they isn't anyone to secure or protect women in case of discrimination and so on so it demoralizes them.
It is true that both genders can do the same jobs it is just that the economy is mostly providing domestic jobs to women.
Exactly that's why we have to fight for our right before it reaches a stage whereby nothing could be done.
No agree 😶😒
Very nice 👌👍👌👌
04 Mar 2022
Yes! I believe that men and women can do the same work, because right now I have not seen any occupation that does not accept females even leading, except that women are seen as too weak and may not be allowed to partake.
I feel that right after wars women are sent right back to the primitive times where they belonged in the kitchen and where only allowed to bear children and be stay at home mothers, because they would only hinder the re-development of the economy
I think that both sexes have a different function. Is there a supporter?
All women support it but I don't think men support it because they think that women are incapable of doing what they do
Yes, this is considered an intellectual bias because they think about one thing and the reality is something else
True
No women can do whatever they want 😉😉😉😉
You are right, a woman cannot do whatever she wants, especially in eastern societies. There are customs and traditions that control society, and sometimes reduce the opportunity for women to participate in some professions and jobs.
Regarding theYes, it is true, but not in all cases. There are jobs for women and men, and there are jobs that belong to women only, which men cannot do, and there are jobs that belong to men that women cannot do. second question, yes, women suffer from wars. Women live with the consequences of wars and interact with them, but they are not passive victims. Women grieve and fight the pain of conflict. In many cases, women are forced to overlook their pain and grief.
I do not believe that it is possible that women work in the same work as men 🌚
What do you mean by this?
I mean , it is normal for a woman to do the same job as a man and a man to do the same job for a woman 💯💯
yes of course, great job on board 100 percent💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯

I think that believable queen has shared a very interesting point that the many people who have biases towards women need to hear. This point is that mankind is adaptable. The supposed advantages that men have over women could be trodden over by just a little effort to adapt. Women around the world have taken up roles that would never have been expected of them. A good examples could be seen from single mothers. They appear to only have the ability to carry out conventional motherly roles but in the absence of a father, they take up both the fathers and the mothers roles with no qualms at all. The world we live in has pushed every individual; whether male or female out of their comfort zone. This means that the challenges that the world puts out to women shouldn't be perceived by them as chains but as wings they could use to fly out of the maze of gender inequality that has ensnared them for so long. For example a woman that cannot get a job because of gender bias could start and independent business to sustain herself. With a little providence she could become successful and have influence in the business world which will be a vital tool in the fight for gender equality not to mention the fact that she could also empower other women around her.
This is an inspiring and optimistic comment, well done for clearly communicating your vision!
yes well done this made me very happy, almost teared up maybe we can organize a scholarship😉😁
What 💯💯
I admire with your words very much A woman in war assumes a leading role. It is enough that she gives her children love and reassurance
Yes this she, as many women took the role of mother and father, and she was successful by all measures and had a positive impact on society. She was able to take responsibility for her children and turn them into persons of status after completing their education.

My answer for questions one is what men can do, women cannot do all.
My second question is some women will lose confident in themselves, Because when some women see all the pain and pressure that's been put on the country, they become physically emotional and fear too. Women are not strong when it comes to emotional feelings.
Why do you say women are not strong when it comes to emotional feelings? Is this based on evidence, experience or assumptions?
What am saying is based on experience. Because women let little things affect them too easily. But not all women are like this.
It is true that not all women are strong women and weak women ☺️☺️☺️
No some are weak and some are strong
Can you explain what you mean?
What I mean is that some women are really strong like queen Elizabeth, She perform all her duties well as a queen without any mistake and she is strong like a man, because is not easy for you to perform your duty as queen and the same time a mother. As for weak women my reason is that some women let little things affect them so easily, like some people will say women are not fit to be a doctor, engineer, an architect, singer and etc, so those women will just dropout and lose hope, cause women have weak emotional feelings. But not all women have a weak emotional feelings, some are very good in hiding their feelings like men. So yes women are strong sometimes but weak sometimes too.
I don't know what made you say that women are weak in terms of feelings, but I'm sure that women are able to control their emotions. They are strong, not weak, and know when to be emotional and when to put their emotions aside.
True , true 💯💯💯
On the country, there are women who trust themselves more than men. As for the strength of emotion, studies have proven that women are influenced by those around them, so this matter prevented women from entering some work, including judiciary
Are there countries where women are judges? Do you know males who are influenced by people around them?
On the contrary , women are very , very strong and can be stronger than men as well 💪💪💪
Yes women can strong.
04 Mar 2022
Hi
I believe that wars affect every aspect of peoples' life. While men are expected to be involved in the war itself , women are left back to do their jobs as well as the men's work. It is very difficult for them but it is never impossible. Women are capable and they have the strength required to handle their lives and the lives of those who they are responsible for. You can think of women all over the world who took this responsibility and they successfully accomplished their mission.
04 Mar 2022
Hello dear, I would like to thank you for raising this issue and I would like to answer your questions
Do you think that women and men can do the same work???
The answer is definitely no, because there are jobs designated for men and jobs for women, for example, men can become builders and auto repairers (mechanics), but women are not suitable for this job, and the same thing applies to men. They cannot work as gynecologists and cannot work in the maternity department. But it is possible to do joint work between the sexes, for example, such as engineering, medicine, teaching and others.....
Therefore, each gender has a job and must do it to the fullest
As for the second question, how does war and conflict affect women?
Every woman will lose her determination and confidence in herself, and it will negatively affect society. There will be many cases of disintegration.
This negatively affects women’s psychological, physical and emotional health, and men’s humiliation for women will become a common thing.
Would you be able to explain to a male midwife why they aren't suited to their job?
Sorry, I don't understand what you mean by the question
It is possible, my dear, to see a male doctor who specializes in obstetrics. This thing exists and does not violate the teachings of Sharia and religion.... But there is a lack of acceptance by some that the supervisor of a woman’s birth be a doctor, as this thing may cause embarrassment for some women, and society may be closed and the man refuses to do so. Giving birth to his wife by a male doctor
Not all people are muslim. How feasible is it for a man to be a midwife in a country where there are few muslims?
Strong_bird, you say that some jobs are unsuitable for a woman. Just because it is unusual for a woman to have a particular job, does that make her unsuitable?
By the way, my wife is a qualified plumber!
I do not think this is true,it is possible that women treat us in the same fields as men and vice versa
Yes, but there are jobs for men, such as plumbing and car repair, and there are jobs for men, isn't that right?
Why are these jobs for men?
Because men have stronger bodies and more stamina than women
Is this true for all men and women?
Is not this right
I don't think this is true, women's bodies must also be strong.
Ido not agree with you ,it is possible for a woman to exercise and also to have a strong body
I agree with you
Hello strong bird, I don't quite agree with your view on the jobs that different genders can or cannot do. Using the example the example of a woman working as a construction worker. Aside the fact that technology on its own has significantly lessened the perceived physical "limitations" that females have as compared to males, females like every other human have the ability to adapt. I think the best example of this is the rebuilding of the Waterloo Bridge, often referred to as the ‘Ladies’ Bridge’, which was carried out by a predominately female workforce. It might also interest you to know that although this bridge has been closed to traffic, it is still standing owing to how well it was built. This shows that gender does not in any way dictate what a person can and cannot do. Another example that displaces the notion that some jobs are more suited to males or females is that of the percentage of males that are chefs or head cooks around the world. Here in Nigeria, all cooking attributed occupations are subconsciously linked to females but the fact that many people overlook is that 77.4% of chefs and head cooks around the world are actually males. This proves beyond any shadow of doubt that NO JOB is strictly limited to a particular gender. I hope that everyone around the world especially females will realize that they don't have to choose their occupations based the standards tailored by biases people around the world.
Well done for using a great example to support your points. On this topic in particular, you may want to take a look at: https://www.women-into-construction.org/ to see other evidence of these jobs not being limited to someone's gender.
Thank you for clarifying your point of view, you have set a really good example and I agree with you
04 Mar 2022
My answer to believable queen's first question is yes. I believe with all my heart that a woman can do just as much as a man can do. Who says that there are no strong women, or who says that a man's work is so special or demanding that a woman cannot meet up to the standards? Most at times, the problems that boost this bias against women is the ego that men have. Not all men would agree with me but whether they know it or not, men's ego does not allow them to believe that a woman can be on the "same level" as they are. I personally believe that women are to some extent, more effective than some men.
To the second question, I say that women now have an opportunity to show their capabilities to their countries and to the world at large. With the help of the women whom the world has unwittingly pushed away, we can restore the society that was brought down by the wars. Though war and conflict are not good things, I think that the present war gives us a second chance. A chance to right our wrongs and embrace what we once belittled.
We all know that a woman is strong and can do what a man does, but let us think a little, my dear... I do not underestimate a woman, but can she work in car maintenance? Can you work in the construction of facilities? Or maintenance of electricity poles? Women are strong, but can her body bear such actions? Yes, women are equal to men and are strong and can do many things, but not the professions I mentioned, because everyone knows that by the nature of creation, the man's body is stronger than the woman's.
Thank you for your contributions quiet_piccolo. You mention the differences in physical strength between men and women make some jobs more suitable for men. Can you think of any ways jobs like car maintenance could be adapted to make them more accessible for women?
💯💯💯
That's a good question quiet piccolo, I quite expected someone to ask me that question. I have two answers to this issue which you have just raised.
Not all women can do laborious jobs like construction work and all the other jobs you mentioned men are more suited for. In that aspect, I quite agree with you, however, the women will work on the site only if they want to (it is not imposed on them). Need I remind you that men aren't the only ones with degrees in architecture and civil engineering and all courses like it; so, while the men are busy getting their hands dirty, the women can comfortably work indoors on the designs and mathematical problems. After all, I did not say that a woman's brain is lagging behind that of the man.
Again, who says that the woman must work in the 'construction of facilities' like you say? It's not imposed on them. If we are more concerned about the limitations to the physical strengths of women, then why not come down to earth? Engage the women in gentler tasks which also help to restore the society. The war has taken the lives, health and homes of many; here, the women can help. Feed those who do not have, care for the casualties and tend to their wounds. Women have a way of penetrating deep into the soul.
I hope I have answered your question. If you happen to have any more questions on my comment, feel free to ask. Thank you.
I see that you are trying to stand up for women here by saying that women can get jobs in all fields - but this comment makes it sound like women need "gentler" tasks that do not "get their hands dirty", which is not true. This is an opinion that is based on gender bias rather facts. Can you research some examples of women who do "laborious" jobs like these to prove yourself wrong?
No, that isn't what I meant by my comment. I was trying to imply that the women will "get their hands dirty" only if they want to. I am not trying to be bias, I only meant that, if people are concerned about the limitations to a woman's physical strength, then they should give them tasks which they feel are "gentle" enough for a woman. It all depends on what the woman wants for herself.
In my comment, I tried to back up the women by saying that they can do whatever they want to do, no matter how unusual other people may think it is.
I gree with you 💯💯
I gree with you.
04 Mar 2022
Well, in my point of view Men and women both have been affected by war that have occured as of in the past. An issue of crisis has the ability to affect the victims involved. So for the fact that men are more involved in the war than women, doesn't prove that war has changed the women's life because from my point of view both the male and the female parties have been affected.
04 Mar 2022
yes i belive that jobs should not be kept as gender sensitive and should be allowed for all people as long as they have the qualifications but the war has had an adverse effect on all but i when a war takes place in my opinion there is a breaking of social barriers people are allowed to do anything possibel and to contribute in any way they can to help their side win
04 Mar 2022
Good one believable queen. I like what you have just said and I would like to answer the second question you asked. How else does war and conflict affect women? War and conflict has affected women in a good way too, and I would say that the war and conflict between Russia and Ukraine has also served as a way to accentuate the importance of women as compared to men. With the advent of the war, women are making great contributions to the sustenance of their country as a whole. Some women even volunteer to go close to the war front just to treat and tend to injured soldiers. This goes against the belief that women lack bravery. What a man can do, a woman can do better and there is no better proof of this statement than what brave Ukrainian female soldiers and volunteers are doing during the war. I am male but I stand strong as a lion to say, "hail the female".
04 Mar 2022
Well, the two genders can take part in the same work, also as the saying goes what men can do women can do better. Even some women's can do much more better than men's, women's are blessed and some women's are served as healers to men when if they returned from wars in Army. Also there are some various employments which women's have power than men's. Thank you for your fantablous question, God bless you.
Thanks for this comment cooperative_llama. Where do you think sayings like this are based on opinion or fact?
04 Mar 2022
In the wars taking place in our time, which are mostly civil wars taking place in developing countries, 90% of their victims are civilians, and most of these are women and children,Women and girls may gain from shifting gender relations. Sometimes they may acquire new situations, skills and influence as a result of assuming new responsibilities when male heads of household are absent. But what happens depends a lot on the status of women before the outbreak of the conflict. In societies where there is massive gender inequality, the scourge of abuse of women is much more likely to be exacerbated in times of war.
04 Mar 2022
I really enjoyed reading your post and your question was how does war affect women that war makes women suffer
The suffering of women during the war
During war, women have many faces of suffering. For them, it means separation from their families, and the increased risk of violence, injuries, deprivation, death and loss. Women are forced to work during wars to fill the gaps left by men, and thus increase the burden on women, in addition to raising children.
This new burden constitutes a dysfunction that extends over a long period, forcing women to take on unfamiliar roles and enhance their skills to overcome difficulties and acquire new skills. Roles in the family, and this is the most prominent result of the war of far-reaching social changes.
04 Mar 2022
I think that there are some jobs that are not suitable for men and jobs that are not suitable for women. For example, there are works that require effort and carrying heavy bags that women cannot do. There are specialized works for women, such as sewing and designs that suit women more than some men, but the work may suit both genders (men and women). As for the second question, wars affect women in terms of work, so there is a possibility of job opportunities for women because men are preoccupied with war and so on.
04 Mar 2022
Yes, I think that men and women are able to perform the same work, because this life and circumstances forced women to do what they could not do... Regarding the second question, the wars really managed to change women to rely on themselves, so she insisted on education and work so that she does not need anyone.
True , 💕💕
05 Mar 2022
Nice question 😚💕
05 Mar 2022
Yes, I think that men and women can do the same, and yes, wars and conflicts have affected women. This life is harsh. It made women bear more than women’s ability to work, especially that they work like men.
05 Mar 2022
Women live wars and live woes and pains for a moment, then regain their strength, forget their pain and sadness, and look for hope and work anew to create a new reality... They are not victims, but rather pioneers of change. Many of the scourges of war are upon us, we find that men die, imprison and escape, but the woman remains the one who bears the responsibility in the family from taking care of her children and taking care of them in the absence of her husband and also taking care of agriculture and working in the place of her husband. In repairing household utensils as her husband and some of them used to go to the market, perhaps we do not lose sight of that transformation that women experience in times of war, which forced them to live the life of men, search for solutions and act wisely and with strength, and not give up, but rather adapted with all their hearts to cope with a new life, otherwise she was A widowed woman who lost her husband is the father and the mother, even if her social responsibilities are heavy on her, she is able to overcome the limits of disability and weakness and create a new life. Is it possible for wars to weaken and kill a woman’s will to change, I think It is impossible for the war to be the end point, but it could be, or it could be a new beginning. What do you think about that???
06 Mar 2022
Is it possible that war has changed a woman's life in a positive way?
Thank you for your comment, outspoken_shrimp. Do you think that war has affected women positively, and if so, in what way?
06 Mar 2022
Regarding the first question, yes, I think that men and women can do the same work, but there are rare works that differentiate them, meaning that a woman or a man cannot do them. Experts noted that there is no difference between the sexes in performing these tasks. It is also said that it is the guilt that a working and successful woman feels and a complex The shortcoming that was established in her mind, but the reality is different. The competition between men and women stripped the man of a very important privilege, that is, he is superior to the woman in being a man and without any extra effort. Many men express their appreciation for strong women, and some of them feel at the same time that Its existence threatens their entity, so they try to reduce it and abolish it, but in the end it remains in my opinion that men and women can do the same work.
True true ❤️♥️❤️
06 Mar 2022
God has created the nature of man different from the nature of women to passion. A man’s body structure is strong, bears hardship and fatigue for hard work, and a woman’s body structure is thin, commensurate with her passion, but in times of crises, wars and difficult circumstances, both men and women adapt according to the circumstances and the situation in which they are placed, so roles change, but each of them performs his work adapting to the situation. The woman, even if her body is not He can bear the difficult work. With the advancement of technology, it helps her to accomplish what her body cannot, as well as the man adapts according to the situation in which he is placed, because in the end, both the man and the woman are partners in the same house, sharing the easy and the difficult in life matters so that their married life continues and with the success of families the society succeeds.
Do you think there are some strong women who would disprove your theory? Is it the case that ALL men are stronger than ALL women?
06 Mar 2022
In fact, wars and conflicts affect all age groups, especially children. Most of the children in the countries where there is war are homeless and have no homes. Women are also affected by the loss of their families and children. Women are really strong. Like a man and stronger, she does her job, takes care of her children, prepares food and cleans, which means she does many jobs at the same time, unlike a man who does one or two jobs and says that he is always tired
Charming_grape, when you say that men are always tired, is that from research, your opinion, or your experience?
In fact, this is what I see around me
06 Mar 2022
Yes, I think both sexes can do roughly the same job, knowing that some jobs are more suitable for one of them...in the case of wars, the innocent always pay the price. Women are widows, orphaned children, destroyed cities, and many dead.. As for the role of women in the war, they had a great role, such as nursing, medicine, assistance, equipment, and fighting, and in fact they had a great role. Role ... Let's talk a little bit about the inventor of down jackets or fibers, the American Stefati Kollek. I think an invention like this helped a lot.. Another recent example of women's sacrifice. Palestinian women, for example. They never escape suffering and torment and are always steadfast and resilient.. There are many examples throughout the ages.
Yes, women and men can work in the same job ☺️☺️☺️
06 Mar 2022
Regarding the second question, yes, women suffer from wars. Women live with the consequences of wars and interact with them, but they are not passive victims. Women grieve and fight the pain of conflict. In many cases, women are forced to overlook their pain and grief.
06 Mar 2022
I will answer the first question. I do not think that men and women can do the same things, especially in war. Men can be strong and able to attack in wars, but most of the time they do not fight seriously either. In the second question, From my point of view, it reflects positively on the woman. When she sees her family and children being shot, this makes her much stronger, because her family is her priority, and this will increase her confidence, because the issue is related to emotional feelings.
06 Mar 2022
Eventhough women are not built like men, but its proven that women have higher pain tolerance than men and can do the same job as men with same efforts or slightly more, and all the before is applied in war, women have participated in war throughout the decade as a nurse, or a soldier, or a housewife who protect her home while her man is absent in war and fills his place in the house, war have changed the thoughts of it being just for men, women can also plan, attack, and carry a gun, all of the above strengths the women more to participate in war and how to manage the difficulties it inflicts on a country or a human being
Yes, women are more capable of delivering society than men 💕💕
Yes, women are more capable of delivering society than men 💯💯
07 Mar 2022
They are the fact
Could you please explain?
07 Mar 2022
I would like to answer the first question .I think a women can the same work men , for as it is said anything men can do ,women can also do . I also like the way you are really supporting women .But let me not be bias men and women should all be treated equally .
07 Mar 2022
Since I live in an occupied country, or in particular a besieged and besieged country, women always change after a war because they think they are strong, but they are very sensitive. Do not forget that if she is married, she wants to protect the family that she formed. As for the man in wars, he often plays an active role in attack and defense, but this does not mean that a woman cannot enter the army, rather she can enter it, but she must be distinguished by important qualities which are strength. In spirit and body.
Can sensitivity and strength work together? Can you find examples of this?
Yes, because strength is related to sensitivity
can you explain how?
Yes, when a woman thinks that she is strong but sensitive, she is exposed to strong and sad situations. Sensitivity plays its role in the woman, and in this way, she has lost her powers.
Why is sensitivity also an important trait for men, considerate_dolphin?
I don't consider it important to all men, but it is important to some, and I have no idea how sensitive men are
08 Mar 2022
Let's have a look to the wealthy or influential people in the world, you will find that most of them are men, and this is not evidence that woman is unable to do the same or detract from their productive ability in society, or that men are more diligent than woman, but this proves that woman does not get the same opportunities that men get, those opportunities that enable her to be qualified for high-ranking political and economic positions. Women all over the world suffer from the stereotype that undermines their opportunity and paints them in a narrow-minded mold, and they find themselves forced to break the mold first in order to let the world hear their voices , which costs them extra effort in addition to the possibility of being criticized by a society that often rejects strong and intelligent woman Rather, its is afraid of HER.

Well... I think women can do men's jobs... even better than them.
Women are the basis of society, so a society cannot be built without a woman who has raised her status
Some say that women have little place in society
! Do you agree?
I see that women are not only (a little space) for society, but they are the force behind the scenes of the success of this society
It is also the planet that enlightens man and the precious and priceless gem.
Also, how can a woman not play the role of a man when she is the one who gave birth to the man himself?
How can a woman not play the role of a man while she is guiding him to the right path.. How??? .. I believe that every success of a man has a woman next to him who helps him in his work for society. Therefore, a woman can do all the work that men do without exception.
Wars and conflicts and their impact on women and girls are exacerbated by their social vulnerability. Also, the harm inflicted on them is not insignificant. Research has shown that the collapse of the social system affects women more negatively than men, especially during ethnic wars within the borders of failed states. As the bearers of culture and the bearers of the children of the enemy, women are seen as prime targets and are exploited because of their enormous responsibilities as mothers. The enemy often resorts to sexual violence, including rape, forced marriage and human trafficking, in order to weaken any resistance that stands in their way .
Sensitive_idea, thank you for your detailed answer. You are correct that terrible things are done to women in wars such as rape.
you are welcome ....
This is just a simple explanation of what happens or affects women in wars.. a lot happens, but society does not care about them.
I wonder what we can do to protect women from the effects of war?
I would like to believe that society cares a lot about women, partly because women are about half of society.

War can change a woman's life more positively than negatively, I mean maybe women will be approached as some sort of last resort and place of hope and peace. It is fascinating the way we are only recognized if we are needed by our societies I mean really how does it even make sense that the "weaker gender " are needed when the society around us is times of grave danger I thought the '' stronger gender '' do not need any help. We as seen as little harmless and vulnerable doves until all hope is lost maybe when all hope is lost in times of war things will be a little different for women.

Well most women are narrow minded and they believe that self defense and joining the army is only for men, so when war came they where not able to defend themselves, this served as an eye opener to many women it thought them that learning how to defend yourself and joining the army is not restricted to only men. Well most women who learnt self defense have protected themselves from sexual harrassement using the self defense skills that they learned. I would like to encourage all women to learn how to defend themselves and be brave no matter the challenges the face.
Is it fair to say that "most women are narrow minded"? Or are you referring to those people who spread inaccurate stereotypes about strength?
Well in my perspective I would agree that women are narrow minded. Firstly being narrow minded can be described as not willing to accept opinions, beliefs that re unusual from ones own. Well I would say that most women are narrow minded because of their inaccurate stereotypes and the fact that nobody's opinion matters except theirs, this has killed the personal growth of women, I would say that being narrow minded is one of our biggest weakness. A wise man once said that "having a narrow mind becomes so small that it takes you no where". As women if we are narrow minded we should learn to consider other peoples opinions and try to look at new perspectives. We should not allow inaccurate stereotypes make us scared about achieving our goals.
Your words are true, and these are the results of wars that make women bear more than their capacity to bear responsibility
I agree with you
Can you say why?
Yes, of course, because women must have rights, just as men have rights, they must be equal and human rights should be strengthened because prejudice is not beautiful and it is ugly that leads to the disintegration of society and the destruction of families and neglect of the promotion of human rights
Wow , because nice

Wow ! What an interesting topic 👍👍
Thank you!

It was the war that made the woman more responsible and thus gained her freedom. The woman was restricted from work and from going out. She had no power over anything, but some women were made by the war to gain their freedom, so the death of their husbands made them have power. They started working to support the children, so the name of the woman began to appear in the publications of the world
Do you believe that war acts as a catalyst to strengthen women's positions through society? Isn't that a heavy price to pay? Would it not be easier to build an equal opportunity society through peace?

"The most successful and advanced society is the one that grants women their full rights and believes in their role in political, social and economic life and in all fields. In our Palestinian case, women have a prominent role in rooting the national identity, in education, and in developing society.
Since the start of the Palestinian revolution in 1965, the role of women has strengthened and they have fought in all fields of struggle without exception. We cannot imagine a modern society without taking
Women's full position and role
Yes because women are able to develop lots of their abilities and societies
Yes, it is true, there are many examples of women leaders who had an active role in their societies
08 Mar 2022
I agree with you
Thank you for the women who have the ability to take responsibility even if they are alone
I also thank them.It is our duty to encourage him and thank them for their efforts and appreciation
09 Mar 2022
There's no difference between men and women in any way
I agree with you, each of them has rights and duties to perform to reach goals that achieve justice and equality
Thanks, that's right
Thanks, We ,as a society ,also have a duty to appreciate and encourage them for what they have given us .

In war, women suffer, as they may be separated from their families or children, and this is because they must provide aid to the children of their people. Women try to fill the gaps that men leave after they go to fight in the war, so they work, and work and raising children are on their shoulders, and once this ends The war simply returns the men to their work and the women return to their homes, as you said, although some women may desperately need this work, but their people simply forget what you have provided. My question is 1. Are there other images that express the role and suffering of women in wars??,2 Do you think that a woman is oppressed after the war by returning to her home, knowing that she may be in dire need of this job??, and what is the solution to this injustice?? I would like to say Happy Women's Day ♡
Yes ,it is a hundred percent true 💯💯

I think men and women can do the same work. If such opportunities are provided to women. Also conflict and wars can affect women in so many ways . Based on research, one way conflict affects women is that it reduces life expectancy. Women are more affected by the indirect effects of economic change (e.g. increases in food prices), displacement and violence – and consequently the risk of HIV/AIDS .
Thanks, inventive_analysis. You say women are more affected by higher food prices, displacement and violence. Why do you think this is?
That's right 💯💯

Yes, of course, because women must have rights, just as men have rights, they must be equal and human rights should be strengthened because prejudice is not beautiful and it is ugly that leads to the disintegration of society and the destruction of families and neglect of the promotion of human rights
I agree with you that men and women are equal in all rights.
Yes, of course, but it does not promote human rights and it is very ugly
True
Of course, something is not beautiful because it leads to the lack of promotion of human rights
True 💕💕

Very beautiful discussion... My opinion on the subject is that women can do men's work, but not all works are not just works that do not harm or suitable for them, because women by nature have a very gentle and thin sense. As for what the wars have affected women, he confirmed to the world that women have a very important and great role in the world and their ability to protect their home and children during wars.
Yes, women have a very big role in the developedment of society 💯💯

Hello this is a very nice discussion and my suggestion to the first question is that both sexes can do the same work although women were not built like men and also army for example is preferable for men but strong women can also do that work and also men and woman have to equal right.
True
Yes, men and women are equal in all rights

Hi, I'm enchanted mandarin.
From my common observation, not all women can do the same work that men do. In fact, they are mostly hired depending on their abilities. Not all women can participate in safari-rallies, and not all men can become hairdressers, and I'm sure that we can all agree that all of us are skilled and talented in our own ways.
I have a couple more ways by which the war has changed the lives of womankind;
1) Women are less tormented by the media. The amount of hate and shame forced on women bloggers by the media is reduced giving them more freedom.
2) Women are given equal job opportunities and the right amount of salary depending on the job position.
3) Women from countries like Kenya and Oman were allowed and given the right to vote and choose their political leader.
War is a terrible thing and no one should be exposed to it, and the whole world must unite to prevent war and always bring peace, but if war is inevitable, everyone should know that women are also able to contribute greatly to the defense of the homeland in many ways
True
Yes, of course, but it must also be shared that men in wars, like women, are responsible for building a conscious and mature generation in society.
Gender equality means that women and men have the same rights and obligations in all different areas of life, and it works to promote human rights and fundamental freedoms for all people.
No , lt is possible for women to work in the same fields as men
Yes, of course, but I know that, but women can work in the same fields as men and men in the same fields in which women work, and this indicates impartiality and strikes the concept of equality.
I know, now you can tell me the meaning of bias
11 Mar 2022
I would like to say that it affect men and women .Not only women but a the whole country is affected like for example civil wars ' fight for independance.Like in my country we got independence in 1964.I would like to say kudos

The “mother’s employment inequality,” which is the difference in the proportion of working adult women with children under six compared to non-mothers, increased dramatically by 38 percent in the period 2005-2015. The proportion of women in senior positions is also still low, a situation that has not changed much in the past thirty years. Less than a third of managers are women, although they are often better educated than their male counterparts. Education is not the main reason for women's low rates of work and low wages, but rather that women do not get the same benefits as men with the same level of education.
'Inequality in appointing mothers to senior positions' Only 25 per cent of managers with children under six are women. Among managers without fathers, the proportion of women rises to 31 per cent.

Who agrees with me that women have a big role in society??

Hi,it is my pleasure for me to have this opportunity to express my view and thought about this motion.Base on my understanding and experience, I think men and women can do the same work but women can do it more extraordinary than men.Why am I saying this,because women have some certain qualities in which men do not have.Among these qualities are:commitment,being punctual or regular etc all these help them in whatever they do as women. To add more,I can use my lovely mother as my experience I have witnessed.My lovely mother works in the central bank in country (Ghana).She is a hardworking woman,she makes sure put every effort in whatever she does.she do all her duties assigned to her. She obeys all rules and regulations instructed to her.she schedule her time well in order to balance her family and work as a woman.All these has helped improve my mother's carrier and it has also helped her to get the position as a manager of the company. So l support that women can do the same work with men but can do it more better because,what men can do women can do it more and more better.Thank you.
Is it fair to say women have some qualities that men do not have, or does this vary from person to person?
No,of course it is not fair,It may differ from person to person 👍👍
Each person has advantages over others, and each one has different capabilities from the other. It is not fair to say that all are equal. They may be similar, but they are not equal.

Gender equality means that women and men have the same rights and obligations in all different areas of life, and in works to promote human rights and fundamental freedoms for all people.

1) Of course! It's proven that physically both genders can do the same work, however in some cases some need to exercise harder to reach the physical qualifications of a certain job, although it's known that the percentage of women working in jobs that require physical strength is less than that of men, this still proves that women are able to exert physical strength just as men however requiring harder exercises, so although the two genders are different biologically, they are both able to reach the same level of physical strength to do the same job, and even the jobs that require mental qualifications it's not a case of gender, but one that's related to each person with his abilities whether female or male.
2) Another example on how war affects women, this effect actually transfers to their children, for example if women's lives are taken away, kids would lose an emotional part part of their lives as the mother provides so. Moreover women may face sexual assaults during war if taken as prisoners or if left on the streets due to war, as known "women and children are the majority of refugees of war" leaving them both vulnerable to miserable actions.

My opinion is that the war should stop because there is no need for war because it causes many damages, including: physical (buildings and streets) and moral (a psychological problem) and also destroys the state's image in front of the media and what causes men and women to destroy myself (depression), so please stop the war!

I agree that men and women can do the same work if opportunities are provided to some women.
