5 point something: Society must give women the following...

1. Education – Women are smarter than men and should have an equal if not a stronger right to education. Beti Bachao Beti Padhao

2. Freedom to have a social life – Interaction with society including men (without judgment) will help them gain the confidence and experience to deal with life situations

3. Right to marry a man of her choice - So that she can continue to be the woman that she has evolved to be

4. Protection from physical and mental abuse – Women will far excel men in most fields if their safety and wellbeing is guaranteed

5. Same love, care and nurturing as a son – It’s about time daughters are treated the same as sons, especially in villages and small town.
