A woman pens down her feelings on the plight of women in our country and questions if she can ever feel safe here?
I don’t feel safe in my country
Where women are treated as an object
We are given the opportunity to get educated
But men are not getting the right message
We are given a chance to earn
But men think we are earning for them
We thought we could roam around
Without the fear of molestation and rape
But its not working at all
I feel scared to step out of the house alone
What are we supposed to do with these dirty men?
Who think our body is their toy to play around?
Who has given them right to do that?
Since it’s the age of social media
They are taking that as an opportunity too
Are we even allowed to breathe safely?
They are not leaving anybody
None of us, irrespective of our age
Is it really a curse to be a woman in this country?
Dear men, it’s not just about you all the time
It’s about us, we don’t feel safe with you around
The way you have murdered us emotionally, mentally, physically till now
Start counting, you will definitely burn alive
Nobody will rescue you …..not even your own
Dear Government, give us the license to shoot those who mistreat us ot the spot, if you can’t do it for us…
People are not considering sick as well
Why don’t you keep dummies at home if you are that desperate?
Why self-control is taught only to women in this country?
Women should speak softly. Women should not walk like that, women should cook and look after the family
Stop focusing on women cause they are doing everything better than men
Start focusing on these scoundrel, desperate men and eradicate this problem for us
We don’t want to be called Goddess Laxmi or anything of that sort
Just do the right thing
Treat us the way we treat you. Treat us normal
Let us roam freely without the fear of being a woman

People say that women are the greatest enemies of women. I vehemently disagree. It is the patriarchal mindset that makes women believe in the wrong ideology.
The entire world celebrates International Women’s Day on March 8, 2024. It should be a joyful day, but unfortunately, not all women are entitled to this privilege, as violence against women is at its peak. The experience of oppression pushes many women to choose freedom. As far as patriotism is concerned, feminism is not a cup of tea in this society.
What happens when a woman decides to stand up for herself? Does this world easily accept the decisions of women in this society? What inspires them to be free of the clutches of the oppression that women have faced for ages? Most of the time, women do not get the chance to decide for themselves. Their lives are always at the mercy of someone, which can be their parents, siblings, husband, or children.
In some cases, women do not feel the need to make any decisions. They are taught to obey the patriarchal system, which makes them believe that they are right. In my family, I was never taught to make decisions on my own. It was always my parents who bought dresses and all that I needed.
It is shameful that in today's world too, women are abused and even killed for giving birth to a girl, and the infant's life is also of no value.
Trigger Warning: This deals with domestic violence, suicide, and violence against women, and may be triggering to survivors.
I am so glad that the esteemed courts are now giving the much-required verdicts regarding certain ideologies that were not at all entertained earlier. I mean we all have studied this much biology at our school level and it is our duty (our generation) to educate our elders about it.
Why someone have to lose a life to bring such awareness to the society. Delhi High Court gave this judgement concerning a case that filed by the deceased daughter’s parents against her in-laws. She committed suicide as she was harassed and tortured for dowry and giving birth to two daughters.
