It is A very nice question. It is the point of discussion and not debate. I would like to put in my idea behind it. Today, we are all talking about women empowerment and feminism. What does that mean? It means to respect and accept women and their existence.
It means to give equal opportunities to them in the decision-making process. We can see the same words everywhere ‘Women are no less than
men’ they can do good for themselves and their family. Why do we rescue the
women and children first?
Children
are young and innocent hence; they need assistance in rescuing from the
situation. They cannot rescue themselves as they have no power and enough
experience to come out of the situation. Hence, it is the elder ones who can
help them rescue. It is an unwritten policy that a child cannot live without his
mother. Hence, in case of rescue, it is important that women should be rescued
along with the children. It is not that men cannot look after their children
but when it comes to children’s well-being and looking-after, mothers are
preferably chosen.
The entire
rescuing situation has nothing to do with women's empowerment and feminism. If it
was such thing that women have less power or immunity than men they wouldn’t
have given opportunities to serve the nation at borders and everywhere in
defense.
