She may be a daughter, a sister, your companion, your co-worker, a spouse, a mother, essentially “strong and impenitent”, each special and uncommon in her way. And nowadays she is feeling less shielded by her individuals, she has stories of enduring from savagery, but once more is cleared out noiseless as she is worried about the results if she talks out about her terrible encounter. Yes, it has undoubtedly affected someone truly near to you; she can be your companion, indeed your family part, your neighbor, or somebody whom you share your work place with, we don’t know, since she as one has smothered her words for ages now, and after, that there comes this frightening thing, “she is likely to have been assaulted by somebody she knows”. There are thousands of women confronting similar mishandling, sexual badgering, and torment, denied of rights and opportunities for freedom.
All sorts of conventional and preservationist socio- ethnic aberrations caused women to slack distant behind men not just in terms of instruction or business, but moreover in each perspective and circles counting wellbeing, individual property rights, and sexual status, lawful, social and political rights. And this is what led to propose the idea of Women’s liberation to happen amid the ’90s. So, the thought of Women’s liberation was brought almost with a conviction that it might offer assistance, the build-up to sex uniformity within the social, political, and prudent perspective; the major objective “to challenge the systemic imbalances that the women confront on an everyday basis”. But what has these sorts of developments driven to? There were sexual attacks back at that point and it still exists, each day hundreds of girls get raped and then get brutally killed by a group of rapists, they get thrown somewhere entirely exposed, with cuts and scars all over their bodies.
And then, we hear unbearable stories, “A 9-year-old girl gets raped while returning from school; a 92-year-old granny got raped” and whatnot, typically heart-wrenching, in addition to another night where humankind is put to disgrace. Even today, many families restrict their female child to travel all alone during night time. So the question is “Is being a girl a wrongdoing?” since she still has got to live with fears in and of her. Fear of being followed by a group of random people on a silent road, no matter if they happen to fall under the “good” category, but still she uses all her entire vigor to run and come to a bit packed place so that she feels less afraid. Other than that, there’s one more thing she fears around, a fear of being chuckled at if she gets a “red stain” on her white pants amid her periods. So, this concludes “Yes, it’s tough to be a WOMAN”.
And the foremost pitiful portion, the so-called “The pioneers- the author of the constitution” haven’t executed any strict rules; even though the nation Nepal got its first woman President, she still hasn’t broken her hush by talking against any such brutal acts done to young ladies, indeed to the entire human because violence against women, not only affect the mindset of a girl child but humanity as a whole.
I’m afraid if this goes on, the legislators may actualize an unused law, expressing “No girl child is permitted to walk outside after 6 PM; each girl ought to walk with Burkas on.”
Where is our nation driving? We’ve Kumari- the female lord worshipped each year, but at the same point, we have girls in each lanes of our nation like “Nirmala and Samjhana”, in a look of equity, of torment and shouts of all unfortunate rape casualties. History’s repeating each day; another daughter sacrifices her life, demanding justice for the older one. If this continues, and again if our words are left unheard, we should expose those merciless people ahead, put them to shame, so that there would be no other Rapist in the town, and every girl would live a blissful life and have all her beautiful dreams turn into reality.
