Nameless

Another rape, another girl, another crime and yet, it's just another day.

She was just like any other girl. She had her hopes and dreams. She was a carefree five year old without a worry in the world. Until we destroyed her. Yes, WE destroyed her. You and you and you....and me.

We kill the girl child a little every day since she is born. We kill her a little every day. Every time we ask a 5 year old to sit with her legs down, every time we ask her to sit at home and play house, because sports is for boys. We kill her a little when we ask her to adjust her dupatta and to wear clothes which cover your knees. We suffocate her every time we ask her to lower her eyes even when she sees men leching at her. We humiliate her every time we call her a 'slut' for talking to boys. We kill her dreams when we ask her to give up her education because 'how will all that help you later in life when all you have to do is take care of your house'. We make her eyes sting when we look at her from top to bottom, no matter what she is wearing, making her feel like she is naked.

Call it what you want to, but the fact still remains. You rape a girl in many ways, every day.
