We tend to forget that nobody has a right to cut off the beautiful wings of girls or crush their dreams
HYDERABAD: In our society, it is perceived that girls are born without wings and desires. They are made to live life in a cage, as if a prisoner, and numerous limitations are imposed upon them in the name of morality. A good girl is one who always bows her head and obeys everyone. She is not supposed to talk back or retaliate in front of her family or society.
We tend to forget that nobody has a right to cut off the beautiful wings of girls or crush their dreams. It is not a crime if she speaks up for her rights and takes a stand for herself, but unfortunately, most people think it is, and punish her for it. Numerous girls are living such dreadful lives, and we as a society must put an end to it in order to break this cycle of oppression.
