Girls/Women and Their Safety

👧👧 Girls/Women and Their Safety

A 'woman' or a 'girl,' no matter her age or relationship – whether she's your mother, daughter, sister, or anyone else – her safety matters greatly. In many countries these days, girls and women are facing sexual assault, abuse, and even prenatal killings. New technology is being misused against women, and incidents like acid attacks are on the rise. This raises the questions: Are we blind? Can't we see what's happening around us? Can't we protect them?

The answers are that we are not blind, but we often act as if we are. We can see everything, yet we often fail to take action. We have the ability to protect them, but many only prioritize their own families, neglecting their responsibility toward other women and girls. Even when they witness a catastrophe, they may choose to ignore it. This allows wrongdoers to harm girls, often in plain sight. Unfortunately, in such situations, instead of helping, people may pass judgment on the victims.

By turning a blind eye to these injustices against women and girls, we inadvertently empower those who commit such acts and misuse technology. The solution lies in not ignoring the wrongs around us, but in stepping up to help those in need. Each of us should assume the responsibility of safeguarding girls and women. The pressing questions are: Why does this hunger for control extend to baby girls? What drives the misuse of innovations that were intended to benefit everyone? Such actions contribute to the fear of giving birth to baby girls, leading to their tragic demise even before they're born.

It's incumbent upon all of us to protect every woman and girl around us. Can't we? Are we truly helpless? Are we truly blind?
