It’s 3:30 at night nd I still can’t sleep. Today was a very hectic day. I was hella tired but when I came to bed I scrolled through Insta and saw posts about Ramisa and other girls. After that my sleep was completely gone. The whole night I’ve just been talking to myself about girls and violence against women. I’m a girl and I come from a family where violence against women is considered normal. I keep seeing news where parents cry after their daughter dies but those same parents once told their daughters to “adjust”. I’ve seen elders telling victims to adjust to the abuse they face from parents, teachers, husbands, in-laws n society. And now I keep thinking what if I die in such a cruel way too? What if I die because of my family? Because of my parents? Because of the man they marry me off to? What if I end up killing myself just to escape all the problems created by family and society? Women are safe nowhere. I’m lying in my own house and still feeling scared. If society doesn’t become a better place for women then women will never truly be safe. The parents crying after their daughter’s death are often the same parents who ignored her pain when she was alive. I’m mentally exhausted n so tired that I can’t even write everything clearly the way I want to. My thoughts are all over the place.
Atp I’m genuinely scared of when I’ll die just for being a woman in this world.
