Location: Meerut
Sex a divine terminology have been misused and have been used as a medium to showcase one’s own aphrodisiac satisfaction and a orifice for emotional endeavors, which we feel is one of the root-cause of one of the strongest epidemic of this country – “Forced Sexual Exploitation” or the phenomenon of RAPE. And in this context, women are seen as a medium to accomplish the so called one-time personal satisfaction, be it be a 2-year old girl child or a 60-year old grandmother, the sick leaves no one freely.
We use this opportunity to narrate a horrible case which got reported from Meerut, one of the dreaded-den for Women in Uttar Pradesh.
“It was a pleasant afternoon , that one of our Helping Brainz volunteer just came to the verandah of her classroom to take a small tea-break, where she heard 3 housekeeping ladies (all aged above 40 approximately) discussing a matter of Forced Sexual Exploitation. As a Helping Brain, she is trained to break the silence and interfere to help out people and alas she did the same.”
The rest of the story was narrated by one of the housekeeping staff & the story goes like , “My name is Anita (name changed) , I’m a mother of 4 , three girls and one boy. My eldest daughter is married and I reside with my husband along with my 2 kids (My youngest boy and daughter), and second daughter who is 14 years old, resides at my maternal home. I sent her to my maternal home since she is a victim of forced sexual exploitation , and the culprits are forcing her again, we being poor , struggling for one time bread are ignored by the society and Government when we raise a complaint against these wealthy zaminders , who bribe the Government and the society for their own needs. The culprits, being my own neighbours who used to force their own son on my girl child and black-mail her after committing the crime, not to utter a word. However , after some time my child broke infront of me and I being helpless sent my child to my maternal home, otherwise I could have lost her.”
Helping Brainz’s Voice : We request the society to change their mentality and consider the rich and poor as ONE! Don’t include cast, creed , colour , sex and religion for differentiations. This was a story by helpless mother who narrated her story to us when , we said that , we are also her children.
Request you all to raise a voice against such crimes and break your culture of silence.
