Feminine sensibility is a concept that emerged in the Enlightenment Era and continued to be defined in the Romantic Period. It describes the level to which women are affected by the world around them. It is the pursuit of women's rights within the society of India. Feminism does not particularly talk of equality and rights of a woman but it is more about compassion, respect and understanding from the male counterparts. Feminist theory that has become prominent in feminist thinking. The norms entrenched in society that has led to gender inequality. Post- Independence feminists seek to accomplish this goal through rejecting essentialism, philosophy, and universal truths in favour of embracing the differences that exist amongst women. Post-Independence Feminism has resulted in some of the most ground breaking research in the last twenty years. Postfeminist sensibility is a noncoherent set of ideas about femininity, embodiment, and empowerment circulating across a range of media. Ideas that inform women's sense of self, making postfeminist sensibility an important object for psychological study. Contemporary patterns of sense-making on gender, making the case for continuing research on postfeminist sensibility in the areas of digital cultures, a transformative imperative that includes the mind as well as the body, transnational postfeminism is imperative.
Attempting suicide is a serious problem that requires mental health interventions. Factors that impact stress related to mental health include childhood adversities such as sexual/physical abuse, alcohol or drug abuse, stressful life events. Death of a loved one, loss of a job or relationship, financial bankruptcy, impending criminal prosecution, and being diagnosed with, or recently diagnosed with, a terminal illness can also leave behind a deep scar on one’s mind. Essentially, people who attempt suicide require help in connection with high psychiatric or psychological morbidity. Philosophical dilemmas involving a person’s right to life and death have been debated, inconclusively, in many disciplines with different viewpoints and approaches. Many are ostracised by the societal doctrine of “being weak” and fear being either shamed or eliminated from participation in social activities. If we do not have preventive measures in effective highlights of reformative approaches in place, there is a risk of losing a human life. Estimates published by WHO indicate that globally about 1 in 3 (30%) of women worldwide have been subjected to either physical and/or sexual intimate partner violence or non-partner sexual violence in their lifetime. Most of this violence is intimate partner violence. Violence can negatively affect women’s physical, mental, sexual, and reproductive health, and may increase the risk of acquiring HIV in some settings. Violence against women is preventable. The health sector has an important role to play to provide comprehensive health care to women subjected to violence, and as an entry point for referring women to other support services they may need.
Women's empowerment is essential for achieving social justice. Women and girls are often subject to discrimination, violence, and other forms of oppression simply because of their gender. Empowering women helps to create a more just and equitable society for everyone. Empowering women is essential to the health and social development of families, communities and countries. When women are living safe, fulfilled and productive lives, they can reach their full potential contributing their skills to the workforce and can raise happier and healthier children. Many women have reiterated and expressed before me, that a ‘woman’ is not an object of delight. ‘Woman’ is not a perfect notion of a ‘good wife’ in a man’s head. Besides, an emphasis or any of the other sexist ideas now somehow touted as progressive is not fair to be called ‘gender neutral’. Moreover, the ‘diversity inclusive causes’ that calls female people ‘menstruators’ and ‘people with vulvas’ strikes many women as dehumanising and demeaning. Those who’ve had degrading slurs spat at many by violent people, it’s not neutral, it’s hostile and alienating.
My interest in women-related issues is pre-dated by a matter of a girl almost a year and a half ago, during which I followed the debate around the concept of gender neutrality closely. I’ve interacted with trans people, and read sundry books, blogs and articles by trans people, gender specialists, psychologists, safeguarding experts, social workers and doctors, and followed the discourse online and in traditional media. On one level, my interest in this issue has been professional, because I feel I can understand the emotions that many people bear in their mind latently of non being able to communicate freely. This is due to being judged harshly and eliminated and humiliated by many in the society. All this is truly presented and set in the present day, and my contemporary female detective is of an age to be interested in, and affected by, when we lose a human life, but on another, it’s intensely personal, as I have seen the negative impact on many as social and economic impacts have increased the exposure of women to abusive partners and known risk factors while limiting their access to services. Situations of humanitarian crises and displacement may exacerbate existing violence, such as by intimate partners, as well as non-partner sexual violence, and may also lead to new forms of violence against women.
All one can ask and wish is for similar empathy, similar understanding, to be extended to the many millions of women whose sole crime is wanting their concerns to be heard without receiving threats and abuse. People may not be judged harshly on any stress they are trying to cope with both mentally and physically. Life is long and there is so much to celebrate about. Community norms that privilege or ascribe higher status to men and lower status to women; low levels of women’s access to paid employment; and low level of gender equality (discriminatory laws, etc.) can all contribute to fatal outcomes like homicide or suicide.
We should live a life that is useful to others. A person should give up his or her selfishness and live for others. One should have kindness, compassion and benevolence, not pride. If we live for others then even our death can become a good depart and if we can touch lives, there is nothing bigger than that.
