Who will bell the cat?

Women's rights are violated and its widely talked about. Children's rights are violated and not many people are making that a talking point. This is because women do have a voice in society as grown ups. That women can get the mike many a times. But the problem of women's rights abuse and children's rights abuse comes from the same reason namely financial. Who will provide for these two? A lot of grown women coming from affluent families get married and when they face abuse no one wants them back. It is too much to expect old parents to bear the financial burden of supporting a grown woman. The same as a child either has an abusive home or a foster home or an orphanage. One is not better than the other. And how about really talented and educated women getting abused? The job market is less kind to women than men assuming that men support families. Its a sham considering that so many homes across America are single parent homes meaning only mother as parent homes. Chivalry makes you respect these women more than women who compete in the science or political arena for they truly carry the burden of the well being of society on their tender shoulders. Women have hope to escape abuse by gaining financial freedom but to truly respect children's right the society has a long way to go.
