Not in color, but in virtue.
First of all, philosophy and then judging the quality - although this is not true in all cases, it is still prevalent in our society as a gospel in the case of women. And the business of ‘whitening’ cream is going on using this idea.
The whitening cream has been in the market for a long time. This type of product is also seen on several online pages recently. The number of users of these products is also increasing exponentially. One group is measuring their position based on skin color and another group has chosen this subject as part of their business.
A few women were asked how women actually look at the issue of ‘if she is a woman she should be fair, otherwise she has no value in this society’. There is a similarity in everyone's answer and in that case it is necessary to pay more attention to one's own qualifications and skills instead of focusing on the color of the skin.
Sajia Afrin, a senior communications and media officer at Save the Children in Bangladesh, said, "It's more important to have a personality than skin color. As a human being, his speech, behavior and behavior need to be beautiful. If someone's personality is beautiful and attractive, it also impresses the color of the skin. So instead of focusing on skin color, you should focus on building yourself well. ”
He himself has never acknowledged such discrimination. He thinks that his personality, education and respect for others are the main reasons behind this. However, in many cases in society, many women have to face such situations and humiliation. In such cases, he thinks that the best answer is to become qualified and well-educateIt may not be possible to eliminate caste discrimination easily. However, if this issue is openly discussed, if there is an acquaintance who is dominating the color of the skin, if they can be explained in various ways, the mentality of checking others with the color of the skin will change a lot, Sajia thinks.
Nowadays, the promotion and sale of whitening creams on social media is eye-catching. Even in the twenty-first century, people still pay more attention to the so-called external beauty. The matter is quite surprising. One thing is clear from this that we are only being educated and not learning anything in the real sense.
Tereza Jenny Gonzalez, program assistant at UN Women, said: "Those who sell these creams may be doing so for business purposes. However, those who regularly use these creams and lotions do not really love themselves. They want to see themselves through the eyes of others; Wants to love And you can never love yourself like this. ”
When you go to see the bride, you choose whether her skin color is beautiful, what her height is, whether she is fat or thin, etc. More important than the bride's education, qualifications or other qualities is to see how pale her complexion is. One of the reasons behind this is that when the wife is fair, the descendants look fair.Asked what to do if she wanted to get out of the idea, Tereza said, "It's not possible to change the idea by word of mouth. Because, when speaking, everyone speaks against racism but not at work. So if believers start practicing this idea from their own homes, it will become a reality. ”
Jenny, for example, says, "For example, when it comes to seeing a bride for someone in the family, paying attention to the beautiful mind without paying attention to the color of the beautiful body, not worrying about the color of the skin, but respecting her human qualities and skills. Attempts can be made to change the attitude by explaining to them that the skin color is predominant. People should be respected as human beings. We should love the way God created us. ”
In any advertisement, a fair, tall and slender woman is used as a model to set an example of beauty in front of everyone that if you want to be beautiful, you have to be like that and if you are beautiful, everyone will like you, if not. It is affecting teenagers socially. As a teenager, a boy is holding a fair-skinned girl, which means she is beautiful, and a teenage girl is also holding him. If children grow up with such an attitude, it is never possible to get out of this meditative concept. If we want to change the society, we have to start education from this small level. People should respect love as human beings and appreciate their inner qualities.
How effective are these creams available in the market and what are the side effects? When asked, Lovely Sheikh, a cosmetologist in New York, said, "There are no more creams as harmful as whitening creams as cosmetics."
"People in our country are still so obsessed with skin color that they forget to check the pros and cons," he said. They never thought that if there was a cream that would lighten the skin without any damage, there would be no green people in this world. ”Whitening creams contain bleach and many other powerful chemicals that lighten the skin temporarily and quickly. However, it brings terrible dangers for the future.
In addition to skin rashes or cancer, it causes various other problems. The use of these creams causes complications in the human liver and causes problems such as depression and anxiety.
So Lovely Sheikh advised not to use any such cream.
