The right to roam alone, unapologetic and free By Bhoomika Swami Semester V (Arts)

The right to roam alone, unapologetic and free.

Why women and girls are repeatedly warned and taught fear?
Why they are also told that their safety is their responsibility?
Why always girls and women are taught to stay more alert, more careful?
Why always people use to blame girl only if any sexual violence take place?
Why always people blame that revealing clothes?
Why people put so many questions on a woman or a girl character?

First society imprisons a girl in a fear and after an incident, when women's and girls’ use to gather with the courage to ask for justice, they are blame and told to shut up.
Why only women's way of behaving, thinking and identity is controlled??????

By doing all this thing a society can never put an end to sexual violence. The biggest fear for a girl and a woman is not of a sexual violence, it is of society.

Question yourself " What kind of masculinity and violence are you perpetrating through this blame game?". A girl and a woman are not only responsible for this. When a girl and a woman is free of blame, we will be free from fear as.

A girl child must have right to roam alone, unapologetic and free. To walk under the starlit night is our right. We have the right to smell the night blooming jasmine.

“The need exists is to felt an emotion of a girl instead of understanding it”.
