Violence
against women and girls is one of the most widespread violations of human
rights. According to NGO services of Kota 2013, 35% of women worldwide
have experienced either physical and/or sexual violence. However, some national
studies show that up to 70 per cent of women have experienced physical and/or
sexual violence in their lifetime from an intimate partner.
A
true event that took place in Kota Rajasthan, Here girls are living like a
caged pigeon in her own family, now moving ahead with a true incident
October
2013 –
Location
– Kota, Coffee shop
I and my friend were sitting in a coffee shop. She was narrating a true
incident about a innocent girl, which she was working upon in her NGO, she told
it’s a deadly situation for a girl in here in Kota/ Rajasthan; orthodox parents
are killing their daughter’s dream on the name of age old traditions and
believes.
A girl with lots of dreams in her heart went
for a job interview without her parent’s permission, as she wanted to make her
parents surprise and proud, she wanted to do something out of the box and
wanted to make it large. On her way to
the interview she met a guy ,an old school friend while
she was talking to him ,unfortunately her dad’s friend a neighbour also was passing
from the same way, to her disgust he saw her talking to that guy and conveyed this information to her parents.
She took the interview positively, received
positive feedback and grabbed the job opportunity as well. She was very happy
she has got the wings now and was ready to fly in her dream clouds. But as it
is said “You never get what you desire, you always get what you deserve”. So
her parents and her destiny have planned something unreal for her back home.
After returning home she found her parents
angrily waiting for her, as soon as she stepped inside, her parent’s started shouting
like a crime reporter of a TV show. why did you go for the interview?, Are you
not getting money for your expenses?, you are destroying our name in the society and
tu to humari badnamee krwayegi and suddenly her mother brought the most awaited
topic by crying humari to kismet hi kharab hai, ek ladki hai wo bhi aise nikal gai
and asked about that guy , whom she met on her way to job interview, tu uss
ladke se kyo bat kr rahi thi, jarur tera koi chakkar chal rha hoga, that girl
tried to convince them that nothing like that papa but they had already made
their judgement without knowing a single point and were not ready to listen her, now her mother joined the party again
walked up and slapped her on the face, and the
innocent girl started crying & screaming badly.
Today
irony of a girl in tier two cities of India is that even their parents are not ready
to trust upon their daughter.
After
this huge tornado her parents left her alone by putting her in a dark room and went back to their respective
jobs. Now that girl started feeling alone and disgraceful in her own home as the
result of this mental torture and frustration she decided to take the last step
anybody would take i.e. Suicide. She knifed her veins, till evening nobody was
aware of this miss-happening as soon as her parents noticed this, they took her
to the hospital, she was almost dead not in her senses but still breathing,
doctor were not ready to admit her because it was a suicide case then the NGO
came into the action, reached on time, and dealt with the situation.
The
girl survived and recovered from the injury but her parents fixed her wedding
after few days of this mishap, and her mother said after all she has to serve
her family chulha choka hi to karna hai use, she has take to care of her kids and husband that’s
all.
No
matter how much we worship and praise women during those 9 days of navaratri
but the truth is condition of women in this country can never improve; she is
treated just like a kid producing machine.
I
hope one day we can proudly say that we live in a country where women is
treated like a God not only during navaratri but literally.
I
