I ask myself this question every time I leave my house. Its the question on my parents mind when I am out too late. Its the questions on my friends mind when I arrive a little late to something. Because we all know that we are not safe. From catcalling to Sexual assaults, things are on the rise and we are scared and we don’t want to be quiet anymore.
I stand on the sacrifices of a million women before me thinking ‘what can I do to make this mountain taller so the women after me can see farther’
International Women’s day is here! Today, give yourself the chance to really look at yourself and admire the amazing woman that you are!
Zainab. When i read her story my heart ached, I felt sick to my stomach. I feel scared to be in this world. It makes me scared to have a baby girl if that’s what will happen to them and it makes me scared to have a baby boy if thats what they are capable of. Today, we need to raise our voices to create a better tomorrow for our children.
One day. 24 hours. So simple yet so difficult.
Women have achieved a lot over the decades as we take more steps towards equality. But, one thing we can’t seem to get away from is… CATCALLING!
On International Women’s day, I have something to say to the younger generation.
