Am I Safe?


Wandering through the streets near my home *not specifically at midnight* even during the daylight, some thoughts crawl up my mind and I began to think, God Forbids what if I get abducted here? Knowing the fact that no one will save me but myself because the Society that we live in, soft screams of women doesn't matter to those who hear moans by rape. I know the fact that only I am able to save myself from this misery, no matter how I cry or beg for my life, the person wouldn't blink an eye.

Thinking hard, certain questions rose in my mind, "what can I do to save myself", "how can I get out of this situation" "did my society, my culture, my education or even my family for that matter; taught me what to do?"

After tons of questions, the answers that struck my mind were giving me shiver all over my body. Those were not really the answers but the questions by the society, "who told her to go alone?" "Who told her to talk to strangers?" "She was a girl, i'm sure she wanted it" "This is due to the liberty her parents gave her" "I doubted her from start" "I knew she was a slut".

Now would anyone mind telling me, what was my fault? Was being a girl my Fault or getting out of home for my basic needs is my fault? This society is so messed up that instead of consoling the victim they try so hard turning them into criminal.


So my question is still the same, "Am I Safe?"
