Shackled Souls: The Ongoing Struggle for Women's Rights in India

She saved so many lives and souls, yet God, how could her story end in such a tragic way? In a place where everyone knew her, she still wasn't safe.We ask today, is it a curse to be born a girl in this world? In this country, where freedom was won 78 years ago, yet women still haven't found true independence? Where so many continue to feel unsafe, where boys are favored over girls for opportunities, and where girls are often seen as a burden?Women have changed the world, but society remains stubborn and refuses to evolve. The nation we criticize for taking away our trophies is ranked 3rd safest, and the one that shocks us is 4th, but the country with the best team stands at 126th out of 163. Isn't that a disgrace? Despite swimming through oceans of progress, society has barely moved forward. What happened 12 years ago still happens today.To all the men who claim they'll protect and honor their mothers, sisters, and wives: start by protecting and respecting the mothers, sisters, and wives of others. Only then can you truly safeguard your own.Why do we still have to march for women to live in peace? Why is this still necessary?This isn't just a battle for women; it's a battle for humanity, for the very soul of our society, and for the future of every girl born into a world that doesn't fully value her. Our freedom is incomplete if women, who make up half of our population, continue to suffer in silence. It's time for society to wake up, to change, and to rise alongside the women who have already done so much. Only then can we truly call ourselves free.
