Women are Embodiment of love, empathy, caring and above all
celebration of life. To embrace and celebrate the spirit of womanhood, earlier
this month, women of Snuvik had a surprise day- off from work, loaded with lots
of excitement. “The day started with a special bouquet from our male
colleagues, and we had a surprise hunt” says one of the ‘Snuvikites’ as they
proudly call themselves. Be it a surprise planned of travelling without knowing
the destination, the princess treatment enjoyed by shopping, bowling and a
grand luncheonto finish it off; “we are overwhelmed the way we are treated” says
another.
“It is not always fun that makes us
content, but fighting for a cause also does” say the ‘Snuvikites’ and as part
of the greater cause to persevere the dignity of women.Accompanied by their
male colleagues, women at Snuvik Technologies, visited Swanthana-A place where
the daughters of St. Camillus fight for respect, dignity and caring for the
differently abled girl child. They spent time with the kids just to be amazed
at their art works and sing along the rhythm of their favorite rhyme, apart
from speaking to the sisters to understand the special needs of the kids.
In this era where we speak
about women empowerment, it is heart-breaking to see that most of the kids in
Swanthana are not orphans but abandoned. Be it a 4 month old Sruthi (name
changed) or a 15-year-oldSwati (name changed) all are subject to discrimination.The
children there look forward to meeting outsiders, and in spite of all their
health problems we see positive energy filled in the atmosphere; which will
give us personal goals on ways to be content and face life with positivity. It
is not about the 50 odd kids that we need to think, it is about the enduring
cause that gives rise to such homes. We pride ourselves on development, on
economic growth and technology; we talk of being a global power but silently ignore
those hooded figures roaming amongst us to eliminate gender issues in the womb
itself or immediately after birth.
Somewhere the human in us needs
to wake up and the society in which we live needs to be educated on the need of
spreading love and care to those differently abled siblings of us, and work
towards celebrating spirit of womanhood says Priyanka, HR Manager from Snuvik
Technologies.
After everything, Swanthana is one such home which cares for the
girl child and Snuvik is one company who is trying to support for the cause.
While you read this article there are many such homes which are deprived of
help, all we can do is wake-up, educate and stand up for the cause.
