Pause For Thought

Pause For Thought
From Remona Aly, Freelance journalist and editor:
This Friday, people all over the world will be making some noise for International Women鈥檚 Day. I鈥檝e already started with a kerching when I splashed some cash for a book about Sophia Duleep Singh - the British Asian suffragette who was a leading figure in the women's voting rights 110 years ago, in 1909. Like me, Sophia had Indian heritage, like me she believed in justice, and like me, she had royal blood.聽
Okay, I take back the last one. But when I was born, my dad did announce it to the world like a royal proclamation. At a time when celebrating the birth of a daughter wasn鈥檛 the done thing with many South Asians, my dad gave out twice as many laddoos - the traditional Indian sweets normally only distributed when it鈥檚 a boy. Fast forward 18 years, and dad was driving me to the polling station so I could cast my first ever vote.聽
I felt goosebumps as I paid tribute to women like Sophia Duleep Singh, whose sacrifices literally put that ballot paper in my hands. I鈥檓 one of the lucky ones. I think of my parents when I read the words of Prophet Muhammad - that whoever raises daughters and gives them the best will be guaranteed Paradise. He said this at a time that daughters were regarded as a burden. Some attitudes die hard, but I won鈥檛 let them filter down. I once asked a little girl if she played football at school.聽
鈥楴o鈥� she giggled, 鈥楪irls can't play football鈥�! I promptly showed her clips of the England women鈥檚 football team. 鈥楪irls鈥� I said, 鈥榗an do anything鈥�. It's tough when the world tells you no, but that鈥檚 when I fling back a mighty yes. Whether it鈥檚 1909, or 2019, for me the struggle goes on - from the highest echelons, to everyday sexism. The Sufi Muslim educator, Camille Adams Helminski put it perfectly when she wrote: 鈥淲omen and men need to stand together in the Light. As we look to see the Divine in each other, encouraging each other to rise to fullness, we push against our own limitations until those limits dissolve and a gift unfolds.鈥� I think of all those laddoos dad dished out, and tell myself, we can only get equality, if we do it together.
