Story
i was trying to write my thoughts based on the 16 days of activism that started from today.i am unable to pen any. what do i write only for 16 days, will any awareness also be created?Will i be capable of speaking out my life in 16 public speeches, the humiliations and crime of being born a girl child, the utter disregard of me not allowed to speak as the daughterinlaw of the House, being crossed over for seniority in jobs because i will not be able to give enough time being newly married?
These 16 days are too less, only thing is we can start new initiatives now, so that no one else is allowed to face what we had faced.But has the discrimination stopped suddenly? Are these 16 days like a ceasefire where all criminal activities against women are stopped. Will all the public speeches, meetings, going to help us, those who have faced or are facing?
is tomorrow going to be a wonderful day where women will be safer on the streets ,workplace or home?
Rather than organizing all these activities, i would ask real women in this group to advice on soul-utions, i would like to quote them daily to other women i know, so that we feel a little less afraid a little more stronger,to solve our own problems rather than having the rest of the world throw problems at us.
