Raise Your Voice
Why it is important to raise your voice?
When your parents don’t allow you to go to school, college, or university because you are a girl
When your office boss refuses to give you a pay raise just because they think being a woman means you cannot perform well even when you really do
When a person harasses you or abuses you
When people put unnecessary expectations on you
When your husband doesn’t take your consent, forces you, and eventually rapes you
When society stops you from following your dreams
When a shopkeeper in the supermarket stares at you
When your teacher threatens to fail you in exams if you don’t do what he says
When family members force you to marry even when you don’t want
When someone manipulates you
When the whole world stands against you
Then what you should do? Then what can you do? Then what can save you?
Raising Your Voice
Because when you raise your voice, it shows you exist, it gives a message that you know how to speak up for yourself and that you are not powerless.
