“Its her
fault” they say. “She din’t raise her voice on time”, “If she wanted she could
have stopped them by various means”. But no one knows what actually she has
been through.
Riya was a
sweet and chirpy girl. Laughing all the times and trying to make others smile
by her sense of humor. But this incident has changed her life. Whatever she used
to read in newspapers, listen on radio- crime against women, she faced that in
reality - When she was harassed and molested by her own colleagues. That
physical and mental torture has really affected her to that extent that she has
stopped talking to her own parents. She likes to stay in her room and keeps
staring at the fan, lying in her bed, wondering “why me???”.
In this
society, her raised voice was marred by putting absurd allegations on her,
making her guilty and forcing her to admit that she was mutually involved. She
might forget this after sometime, but she can never forget the incident as it
will haunt her forever.
She had to
pay a price for raising her voice against them. Call it a male dominating
society or insensitivity towards the strong-yet-vulnerable part of this
society-WOMEN. Woman is not safe here and can never be..........
