The true warriors

I am going to keep this one simple and straight to the point. I live in a small country in Asia, and since the day I was born, I have seen tortures of women and until a certain age, I never realized that this was unfair. Since the moment that my eyes were opened, I asked myself every day:

”Why do we have to suffer this much?”

And this question kept evolving and changed its shape, meaning and direction every day.

“Why do especially we have to suffer?”

”Why doesn’t anyone care that we suffer?”

”When did we start to suffer?”

”Who will do something for us to not suffer?”

And I cannot seem to find a sensible answer. Every news, every title shocks my brain and alter everything in me. And the comments. Comments that come from men who never had to bother thinking about their privileges. They have never had to question their bodies, they have never had to cover their faces, they have never had to sit at homes at night to keep themselves safe, they have never had to accuse themselves when they get abused, and they have never had to suffer from abuse as much as one of us did.

I do not really know if any of this makes sense. I only hope that one day every one of us gets to know what being free means.
