Obesity:- In order to connect the obesity with societal issue, firstly, I would define what is obesity?
1-“Obesity is defined as an abnormal fat that accumulate on the body of human being”. We can also use the term “overweight”.
Most of the people in our society have been passing through this issue and among them the women counts more. There are several reason behind them. Like, women usually get overweight due to pregnancy and other hormonal changes like PCOS etc. These are the internal changes that women usually bear and suffer from bulky body. They try different diets, leave their stomach empty so that they can loose some inches but all get in vein.
REASONS:-
- Diets don’t work all the time, you need some physical exercise too. Like workout, walk, jogging etc. These are the things that majority of the women skip because of the several issues. Some of them are listed below:
a) Women don’t go out to walk because of harassment they face outside or their families don’t allow them.
Now, when I pointed this issue, I know most of the women face it. Harassment is getting very common in our society. The people with lack of education and frustration, they behave extremely unethical. The people outside especially few illiterate men community, they follow them, pass unethical comments, which loose the confidence of women with weak will-power. This not only effect to that particular woman, who face the bully but also the other women, who come out by seeing that lady. Because, everyone has a role model and this is how the chain begin.
b) The second section of my point is connected with the first point. Being in patriarchal society, it’s very difficult for a women to convince their family for going out especially for fitness. Most of the families don’t allow their women for Gym or walk. They don’t let them go outside. (Now, most of the people will say, these ladies could do the same at home but it’s not true. A lady from strong background could afford a long walking track & luxury gym at home but a middle-class or poor can’t.
Now, the families don’t allow their ladies to go out but, if they allow and their daughters, mother, sister or any family woman face harassment, they ban their walk forever. This is how, the conservatism begins. Now, conservativism has connection with lack of education+ weak-will that resist the one to fight for their rights. These kind of people feel they can’t fight with the outer environment and feel theirself comfortable in internal environment These kind of things accumulate and stop women to work for her own health and body. She leaves everything that she wants, to make the society happy and to keep the so called status of “purity”. The most surprising thing is, when you see closely to these Conservative people, they’re among the people who blew the “Fat shaming” and effect the lady with obesity psychologically as well. Neither, they help woman to shed off her weight nor, they accept her with fat. This is the most Conservative concept that one could scale out.
Solution
The solutions that , I would subject is:
- Normalise the “psychological education” and “Defence Training for women”
- The psychological training would help the society to understand the importance of mental health and how a bully, mock or useless restriction could affect the mental health. The training would provide the parents with enough education to understand their children and let them embrace feedom.
- On the other hand, Defence Training helps the woman to defend their selves against any miss-adventure. It will give confidence to woman to learn “How to fight for her own right”. Which is important to be learnt in current era.

Great piece of work.
