Last Sunday, I saw Meena, wearing an old shabby mask, sweeping the garden of our society. Yesterday, I saw her, collecting garbage from every single floor of the society and today she was carrying a clay pot upon her head. Meena is a 14 years of inferior girl staying in an old quarter near our society with her father. Her mother died last year due to cardiac attack. Her father Kamlesh, works as a drudge in an office. However, with such low earnings, he was somehow able to manage Meena’s school fees. Everything was going smoothly in their life prior to COVID-19 pandemic. Lockdown was announced in each and every corner of the country. Pandemic situations were not equal for everybody.
I wonder there would be numerous girls like Meena in each and every society, who would have faced scads of people like Kamlesh……..!!!!!
Doesn’t matter its corona period or times before pandemic, women always go through fire and water (get target) by some vultures of the society. Rape and violence among women have been on highest esteems even in pandemic times. These crimes against women doesn’t need any reason to get vindicate in any sense. The one and only main cause for such violation prevailing in the society is the mindset of ravishers. During pandemic, everyday we witnessed five to six rape cases either on global networks or newspapers. Only these 5-6 cases get the attention of courts and media but what about those thousands cases where “SHE SHOULD JUST BE SILENT” is said. This is not only the matter of getting assiduity, but rapists in those cases moves freely out of the coop whereas victims tact themselves inside four walls. These rape cases, domestics bullying and physically rough handling are all included in violence against women.
