Women face numerous struggles in every walk of their life. Whether it is the decision of leading an independent life or the security issues they face while moving to a new town \u2014 the troubles are seamless. Equality being the biggest among them all, women have to fight for it when it comes to leading an independent life or finding accommodation. Since #EachForEqual is the new and trending campaign to celebrate International Women\u2019s Day in 2020, let\u2019s talk about why women should opt for a coliving space instead of a flat, hostel, or PG.<\/span><\/p>\n

Women who form a large portion of society are the ones who have truly suffered at its hand. History is evident in the many evils women have faced in India since the beginning of time. In a male dominant society like India, they have to fight for their rights and mostly are confined to stay within the four walls of their homes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Women\u2019s security is a big concern in the country. Women-related crimes, harassment at workplaces and related issues often form the top headlines in the media almost every day. This not only is globally making the impression of India worse but also restricting women from making their own decisions in life. Women have to fight their way in every sphere of life, in all important decisions as male-dominance in India continues making them weaker.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Throughout history, women in India have played an important role in society and have shown their true potential when given a chance. Throughout history, women in India have emerged as warriors and leaders. Famous women like Queen of Jhansi Laxmibai, Sarojini Naidu, Annie Beasant, and others too emerged out as true leaders during the independence movement. But, with the passage of time, their status in society has declined. They are not given equal rights in the family when compared to male members and are subjected to patriarchal norms. They are often considered unimportant and are married off at a young age. Parents tend to spend more on their wedding rather than supporting their higher studies. Even at workplaces, they are paid less when compared to their male coworkers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Women who want to live an independent life outside their homes often have to struggle a lot and have to face a lot of challenges every day. First of all, girls aren\u2019t allowed to study or work far away from their homes. Either this is challenged by their safety concerns or the patriarchal rights of earning given only to male members in the family. And, even when they do they are advised not to lead a single life or live alone. Still, some women take up the challenge, standing strong and decide to <\/span>live an independent life<\/span><\/a>. This independent life comes with new challenges like being judged, being lonely, harassment and many more.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

An independent life for women also demands to shift to a new town, away from their homes and then comes the issue of accommodation. Women living in towns and metropolitan cities like Bengaluru, Hyderabad, and Chennai, especially the ones leading single life often are the ones bogged down. Finding suitable homes in such big cities may be difficult due to factors like budget constraints. Also, finding accommodation with the best amenities in a prime location and security can be often challenging as it also comes with a huge price. Women then have to adjust for a PG which then comes with a number of challenges like lacking amenities, strict rules, inferior quality of facilities and much more.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Though women often opt for a PG for security reasons, it also signifies male dominance in society, unlike whom women aren\u2019t given the freedom of choice. But like society, the thinking towards women has changed too. Earlier where PG was the only option women could choose while moving to a new city, coliving has become the latest trend. It not only gives women the desired amenities but also is pocket-friendly. PGs often come with added security, but one should also lookout for a number of things before moving in. Coliving is the latest trend becoming immensely popular across metropolitan cities like Bengaluru and Mumbai, which comes with less cost and more facilities. Moreover, women can even enjoy the choice of their desired accommodation located near their workplaces with added benefits like fun activities on weekends.<\/span><\/p>\n
