STOP VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN!


Stop!!!

Violence against women is a worldwide problem that affects women of all ages, ethnicities, races, nationalities and socio-economic backgrounds. Some forms of violence are gender-based and impact women more disproportionately, such as domestic violence, sexual assault, sexual harassment, human trafficking, child abusement and acid attack.



Beside these, Indian society is facing two more major violences against women Girl child foeticide and dowry demands. 
It is very shameful to say that this society is not safe for females even in this 21st century. Somewhere, little young girls are molested by some sick minded people; somewhere 80 years old lady has to be treated very badly; somewhere if a girl wants to protest against eve teasing she has to be a victim of acid attack.



It is seen that some people being upset on the birth of a girl child in thei5r family and the same people look for little young girls to worship on the days of NAVRATRAs. Girl child foeticide,  now has become a big threat in India regarding gender ratio. As per the Population Census of 2011 it was revealed that the population ratio of India is 940 females per 1000 of males. However Govt. of India has taken step to reduce this difference by BETI BACHAO, BETI PARDHAO movement.



In some families women are not considered as human being at all. They are not allowed to speak in front of any man. But men can humiliate them in front of any one.  Women are considered only to give birth of children and to do the house hold works.



In India, where 60% women have to face violence for dowry demands. In some communities parents birgain on dowry demands before settling a relationship. Disgusting!!! This indulge to kill a daughter in law in such greedy family. In this brutal violence even some women are also involved with men.
Unlike the other parts of India, North Eastern Region of our country is a dowry free zone. I am proud to belong to this region. As an Assamese daughter, I have seen Assamese parents can't feel so  burdened on their daughters' marriages as no dowry system is in the society.


People celebrate a special day to pay respect to the women of this world!


 But if people really respect women then we don’t need a special day to show our existence on this Earth!

Do we? Do we celebrate a Men’s Day??? We, women, are not asking for the whole world; we only seek for half of the sky.

We can think positively to get it one day when people won’t celebrate any WOMEN’s DAY, but they would really give value to our feelings!!! Empowring women is a positive syep toward STOP VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN. Educating girl child is a firm step towards to change the society.

The hope is to make a better world for women. ALWAYS HOPE FOR THE BEST😊😊

Mekurikai - an unsung hero!

Teok , a small town in Jorhat District of Assam. Around 30 years back, it was in process to be a township. It is my parents' home place, where I was born. As my parental villages were in Teok, we usually visited this place on every vacation. Growing up in a concrete city, I found this place peaceful and naturally rich. We travelled by bus to visit my birthplace. The Teok State Transport bus stand was very small that time. State Transport buses stopped here for few minutes only. Here I saw Mekurikai for the first time. I can still visualise his picture in my mind! Mekurikai , the unsung artist! He used to wore a half pant and a shirt, hanging wooden box around his neck. He sang TOKARIGEET  (type of sufi song in Assamese Folk) and collected money from his listeners. Every morning he used to come to Teok State Transport Bus Stand. Whole day he got into the buses while they stopped, sang his TOKARIGEET  in his mild and beautiful voice with feelings, collected ...

The views of the society reflacts in our life!

My friend Ranu was a very sensitive girl. In fact I am too sensitive and that's why we could be good friend. I met her at my working women hostel in Delhi as my roommate. Ranu's father was an air force officer and was posted in Pune. She was in Delhi to practice her occupation as an Architect. They were three sisters and she was the middle one. That time her younger sister was pursuing MBBS in Bangalore. Her elder sister was with her parents. She was mentally retarded! Ranu loved her sisters like anything, specially her elder sister. One day Ranu was so emotional. She was standing alone at the balcony of our room, tears were in her eyes! I came from my office and saw her in that condition.  I couldnt understand why she was upset! I put my right hand on her shoulder  and asked 'what happened Ranu! Why are you so upset? Missing your family?' She replied 'Yes I am missing them.' she continued ' You know what sometime I feel very bad that I am not able to h...
