I AM

     
What am I meant to be,
 Whats my existence is all for.
 All my life I kept thinking,
 What my life is all about.

At 6,I thought life is good,
 All I did was smiled and played.
 At 12,I realised I need to Cover.      
 My visible body parts can offend others.

This uncle,that aunty
The whole lot of chauvinist party.  
  The double standards shouted loud,
And then I found myself screwed a lot.

At 18,I saw the lustful eyes
Ripping out me inside out,                  
 At 28,I realised my husband’s mind
Was never the less than those blinds.

His mother,his sister
Tyranny was all around.
And so much I wished then
'I would have died’.

At 40,it was all home and child
Working and scolding is all that I can find.
At 55,I was left all alone
By all them I gave my whole life upon.

I was floating in depth of thought’s  
 But Couldn’t find the answer I was searching for.
With a smile I still choose to continue  Let’s see what’s more left for me though.

Violence against women is a global issue. Women are neglected, trapped within cultural framework, molded by dogmatic thoughts of the patriarchal system. As a result, violence against women is viewed as a normal phenomenon in the light of male attitudes. Still now, women, in Bangladesh, suffer from violence,...

TRUE STORIES: TAKE THE LESSONS SHIKHA'S STORY I had been seeing this guy for just over three months. We both drank a lot. One night, he got really mad at me and he called me a lot of names, and then pushed me against the wall. I got really scared but he said he was sorry and he’d never do it again. Another night, he wanted to make love and I asked him to put on a condom. He said he didn’t have one. I asked him to stop, and he wouldn’t. And he said that it didn’t matter, not to worry about it. At first, I sort of laughed cause i thought he was joking, but then I realized he was serious and I got scared. I told him to stop but he wouldn’t, and I pushed him away but he pushed me back and pinned me down with his body. He was very strong. He raped me. How I coped I had been abused as a child, and I had told him about it. I was very depressed already, and I had been cutting myself. Things got really bad after the rape. I tried to kill myself. I think I just wante...

DUMB WOMEN’S Long way has to be travelled. A very, very long. But to travel, We need to know how to run. And even before that, We need to know how to walk. I will explain these lines later. Before that, I would like to ask, to everyone, Concerned to women and their safety. How do we assure the safety of women? Ummm, All right! Let’s list out the actions we should take in order to make sure that there’s enough secure world waiting out there for all we ladies. Number 1-   Wear full clothes. Number 2- Don’t roam on streets after 7. Number 3- Walk with your eyes down. Number 4- Don’t make male friends.     Etc etc. Convincing enough? Well, I am a 20 year old Journalism student, Grown up in the liberal-est Family, having a father and brothers no less than gems, Allhamdollilah. But wait, In the beautiful process of growing up what led me to think about something like this? How this urge evolved in someone like me to talk about such sensitive issue? ...
