Yes I Am A Girl

I am Asifa, I am Nirbhaya, I am the one who got raped and killed. I am a baby who wore a diaper and got raped. Yes, I am a girl and I am scared of this society having low mentality. If you think I was raped because of my clothes no, then you are completely wrong, I wore burqa still I got raped. I didn't get raped because of my outfit, neither I was drunk, nor I took drugs. I got raped because someone raped me. I was brutally gang raped. I was left alone to die on the streets. The cruelty and brutality with which this revolting act was committed highlighted the criminals’ belief that they won’t be convicted. Shame on the system. He raped me so it is his fault, don’t look like I am at the fault. One who did this with me is roaming around like he did nothing and is in search of another prey.

Who gave him freedom to rape me? I was told I am safe but the knife and chilly powder in my bag knows the whole story. My country got freedom years back. Am I really free from these evils? Has my country really got freedom? I am eight year old girl, he spoiled my childhood. He did not even think I am a small child and he did this with me. I am a child he raped me inside the temple even the god did not come to save me.

I am a girl with so many dreams but I didn't know I was supposed to end my life screaming this way. Today, I will die but my family will die everyday. Think about my family, will they even allow my sister to step out of the house? They will run from this court to that for the justice. I don’t know I will get justice or not or will people think that it was my fault? He will roam as if he did nothing. They think they will escape the reality just the way more often rapists do. I want justice. Kill the one who raped me. Destroy him. Don't teach me how to dress, teach him how to behave. Teach him not to spoil my life. Yes, I am a girl and I have right to live my life the way I want, he has no right to spoil it.
