Today , it is 'International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women'.
I am short of words, I am not sure what to blog around this day. When I look around me, the ATM incident in Bangaore where a woman was attacked or Aarushi murder case.....I am not sure if any day or a moment could change things for us.
A woman is always tagged for one or the other thing. If she has curves, she is called fat. If she is thin, she is termed as skinny. If she talks to a man, she lacks character. If she is a homemaker, she is assumed to be one bored housewife. If she is working and standing for her rights, she is headstrong. If she trusts people around her out of her innocence, she is assumed to be vulnerable and gullible. If she is doing good, she is accused of some hidden interests. If she is doing bad, she is called a witch.
So I am not sure what to blog to acknowledge this day. Just a message - Respect Us. Neither we deserve any kind of harassment nor we need it!
