Not a day passes
without the news about an assault on a woman, a girl, or even a baby. Not a day
passes without our reading about such anguishing crimes. Not a day passes
without our watching these in silent helplessness.
It is happening
with sickening regularity.
There are
innumerable bravehearts out there silently suffering the evil of eve-teasing,
lewdness, sexual overtures, groping and pawing, stalking, assault, acid attack,
molestation, and rape; many suffer silently, some fight back.
This is the story
of one such braveheart, who makes the ultimate sacrifice to protect her
daughter.
Through this short
story, A BRAVEHEART, I pay my humble homage and tribute to all those bravehearts,
who are struggling and fighting the evil
every day.
There isn’t much
to describe about the story. There isn’t much that you already do not know
about the evil. There isn’t much that is happening by way of women’s safety. However,
there is much that we all can do, as individuals and as a society.
Let us take the
small first step, FIGHT BACK.
