Why is a woman always at risk? In every
situation, in every context? We have a lot of answers to this question. We can
do research, dig deep into academia, advocate, debate and answer this in
various contexts to satisfy ourselves that we understand all that is wrong with
the world. We can also choose to not care. We have all rights to live the way
we wish to.
This is not the aftermath of watching a
play on the partition of India and Pakistan and the horrible tales people went
through, this is not anger culminating from seeing women deprived of their
dignity since time immemorial, this is also not the consequence of getting
strong and vivid images of women who are stripped of their dignity every single
day multiple times in this world....right here where we live!
This is a simple statement - enough is
enough. I no longer want to plead to anyone to take some step, to take some
action, to care, to be human for a change. I just want to say this now - if you
don't care, you are not a human being. If you don't have compassion, you are
not a living being. If you can't empathise, you don't have a heart, you don't
deserve to live. Period.
