What does it mean to invest in women? Telling the women in our lives how great we think they are? That we value the sacrifices they have made? (Usually though not necessarily only – a sacrifice of their aspirations, careers and earning potential in order to focus on family). No, thank you. Just talk is no longer going to cut it. Roses and compliments are great, but it’s time people, leaders, organizations put their money, capital, resources on track instead.

Trigger Warning: This speaks of child sexual abuse, rape, and murder, and may be triggering for survivors. Why can’t men’s eyes see a 9-year-old girl as a kid? If that had occurred, then the shocking incident in Puducherry wouldn’t have happened. A nine-year-old girl, a student of class five, went missing a few days ago, and a complaint was raised with the police in Puducherry.

Women’s Day is being celebrated on 8th March with full vigor and enthusiasm. Women’s Day does not entail being treated to a lunch or dinner; or buying clothes or jewelry. I wish the shops would stop this false advertising of this day. Respect women for who they are and not treat them as slaves who cook and take care of kids.

Trigger Warning: Contains descriptions of mental health trauma and suicide. Some of the language and phraseology used are not the author’s words but the narration of the popular use of language for people living with mental illnesses.
Suicide. As far back as I can remember, I had first heard that word said about a young man who had died of “it” in the government accommodation allotted to my father as his residence when I was four or five.

Every year we celebrate women’s day with great enthusiasm and fervour. On one side, with each passing year, a new theme is introduced to kick start this day and on other side we also face equally devastating issues affecting girls and women alike. When we look at the future from a broader perspective, it is apparent that the root level issues still continue to remain unanswered.

Trigger Warning: This speaks of rape, child sexual abuse, trafficking, and violence against women, and may be triggering for survivors. “Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about the things that matter.” – a quote attributed to Martin Luther King, Jr.Her silence is just another form of pain…… a pain of being born a girl child, transforming into a woman who is always taken for granted for everything.

I am so glad that the esteemed courts are now giving the much-required verdicts regarding certain ideologies that were not at all entertained earlier. I mean we all have studied this much biology at our school level and it is our duty (our generation) to educate our elders about it. Why someone have to lose a life to bring such awareness to the society. Delhi High Court gave this judgement concerning a case that filed by the deceased daughter’s parents against her in-laws.
