"Am I safe? "
I asked to no one but thin air in the dark room.
1)"Darkness was my friend. It made me feel safe. No one will harm me, I'll be safe here.... Safe forever.....especially from the boys who eve-teased me in my way back home.
I can't report to the police. I'm afraid someone will point at my character in future. "
~A girl/woman who was recently eve-teased
2) " I don't feel safe.....in my way when returning home..from school/work..... I don't feel safe....it's day/night.... I'm afraid
....few days ago..... I noticed...i notice someone.....someone.... following me.....someone must.... Someone is stalking me...."
A girl/woman who had been stalked recently
3) "That man /uncle/boy stare.... makes me....uncomfortable....he tried to touch in places.... Where they are....not supposed....to....his presence makes me very afraid.... I'm afraid to....I'm afraid...to share it.... Everyone point this blemish in my personality. "
The girl/woman who was manhandled.
4)"I don't want to live anymore......what's difference between a corpse and me???.... Only breathing..... But not alive anymore....This place is not safe anymore."
She silently took her life.
Few things which will remain same after the Covid 19 issues. May be we can start doing something to change these issues so that be it man or woman, all of them can walk on road safely in night.
