She...

Blessed with the precious task of bringing a new life on earth

She is a mother; selflessly devotes her life to the child she gives birth

An affectionate sister, she can willing annihilate her life for her siblings

She is in a baby girl; to her family, a bunch of happiness her arrival brings

Yet looked down upon, she worries every moment about her safety

Victim of brutal assaults, dowry, gender bias; yearns for her security

No rules defined for the guilty; no strict punishments for the culprits

Despite the atrocities, she is the one dictated the Do’s and Don’ts lists

Born to an androcentric society, she struggles day and night

Oppression under patriarchy- Pandora’s Box of issues to fight

Borne enough pain, she longs for justice, she wants relief,

Respect equal to her counterparts and freedom from her grief.

She is neither a slave, bound to follow her masters’ time table

Nor a jailbird to be strictly assigned a particular apparel

Neither a commodity to be used nor an object to be played with

She deserves exactly what her male peers do, for she is human indeed.
