Do you like short stories!? Wanna hear me? OK. I'll tell you one story-
"This story belongs to a sweet and simple girl living in a small town. Every evening she use to go coachings and reach home at 9. She prefer cycle for this. One night while returning back to home she found that her cycle tyre was burst. She thought of going back home by walking. It's been too late. Some drunk men caught that girl in the dark. She tried to run away but she was very far from her house. They tried to pull her and touched her in a very wrong way. But she couldn't protect herself. That night turn into nightmare for her because she was raped and left alone beside the road corner. She any how managed to reach home. At mid night, her parents were worried, tensed and waiting for her to come back soon. When the door opens, they spoke so loudly & the drops came from their eyes like shower. But The case was hidden about what happened to her because they want to maintain their reputation in the society. Thus, the matter was closed and everyone trying to forget that incident."
Does this story made your Goosebumps Stand..!! Yes, this is common in every road corner nowadays and We'll never take a stand for a victim due to this so called "reputation". Let me know, What will this reputation do if she was killed. Is your reputation more important than your daughter?
Well, Do you know who I am? Many People will answer that I am a Girl. Yes, I am. But They stop me doing what I want to, what I wish to. They stop me wearing shorts, sleeveless, backless, down shoulders, hot pants etc, and because this all will attract those boys and made them think something wrong. Why are they stopping me, only because of those boys sitting outside my house will comment on me or if I will be alone in the bus then the man or the conductor will rape me, or if I'll go like this in the club party then the men who were drunk will abuse me or flirt me and made them think something wrong or attempt any, or if I took a stand for the victims, the very next day, they will throw acid on me. If you're like this kind of people who stop their mother, sister, wife and daughter to go out and stand up alone because of these wrong people then I should say "shit". Let me tell you guys who the hell are you to decide what she want to do and what she wish to have. Who are you to say what she should wear. You have rights to speak, but not the nuisance like this. You can't stop her to live her own life. Why are you stopping a girl or a woman? Stop the Men Not the Women.
In fact, it's better to say, why are we wasting our time to improve HIS mentality rather we should improve HER courage & confidence. Why in this technical or digital world, she hope for a device that will protect her from these wild humans? Why today she is feeling so insecure to move out alone? Why she is afraid to share her problems with other people? Why she need a company of true and strong person while travelling? Why only women have to listen?
Isn't that so strange, in this world especially in India, a girl walking with a guy is known to be characterless or a girl talking to a boy in a phone calls more than 15 minutes said that he is her boyfriend. Why are men in the clubs drunk but one sip of a wine by a girl is being abused? Why she is not allowed for a night out? Why is that so..?
From today, I'll say...
Yes, I am a GIRL.I am a WOMAN, a MOTHER, a WIFE and a DAUGHTER.
And I'm not here to listen what people will say. I'm not here to keep my mouth shut if something wrong happens. I will walk on those road corners in dark with full of courage and confidence. Because I am not afraid of those men who throw acid on me. I will fight back to those who try to touch me. Remember,
"The utensils she use to make Food can be used as a WEAPON if she decided to fight back and stand all alone. The QUEEN inside the house can be the KING outside. And Yes, SHE is a WOMAN."
