"Being Eighteen"

You are eighteen now and are going through the finest yet the lowest stage of your life.

Yes, studies suck. Subjects seem to be your foes, and that fucking routine exhausts you. Whatever you learn, you forget.

That mobile phone is too obsessive.

Sleep is your biggest rival and whenever you decide to study, you bed down. Those tedious textbooks seem to sing lullabies. 

I know you are troubled sometimes. 

Not merely this, there are many more complications in your life.

Those mean friends turn you crazy. You want to get rid of those unnecessary texts.

You want to reveal your love for him but you worry that he'll split even the friendship then. So you prefer to be silent and happy with what you have.

You hate those blemishes on your face.

You want more food but don't want to gain calories. You want more clothes and fewer problems in your life.

Ugh! That pain sucks. You hate periods and sometimes you loathe being a girl.

And what about that judgemental society? They examine you on every move you make. They misinterpret your concepts and you are inadequate to justify them the matter.

There are days when you feel exhausted from within, like nobody can read you and nothing is worth living for.

This will never stop.

But you know what? You are a warrior. You are sufficient.

People will judge, friends will leave but some will stay with you even at your worst, they are the real gems.

Periods are the reason behind the existence of mankind, so be honored for being a girl. Pimples? Just a matter of some years darling.

Yes, you are beautiful and the best.

Speak up, go and disclose your love for him and don't bother about the conclusion.

And yes, you need to study really hard, for a better life :) There is no backup.

Friends are the best creatures alive, so be prudent enough while choosing friends.

Problems will invariably be there but solutions are likewise hiding there only.

Try to extract the best moments out of life.

Try to find what exhilarates you the most.

No matter what situation you encounter, wear that lovely smile on your face.

Remember, optimism is the key to every door.

And yes, I understand everything.

... She's to be blamed...

You know, you get that excitement

And advance towards your prey

Hunt it, grunt about it, she's to be blamed.

Any well dressed passes by,

You whistle to impress,

She look not to you, thus she's to blame

You keep slapping her, hurting her

Your drunken rage bruises her

She couldn't teach you, she's to blame

And only if she pleases you

Takes that slap, as you call her slut

Nonetheless, you keep society's name.

She could not teach you

She wanted but to cry

But the pseudo concept of stamped power,

Defined her to stand up against your name.

Blame it, blame her, shame her further,

She should not stop till she rips apart,

the mask of you promised power and fame.

[youthagainstrape]

Lot's of pain comes with lot's of patience

Sorry girls, You are not pretty,

I mean you are more than just what you look like.

Beauty is not always measured with appereance;

Rather with your capabilities and confidence.

Remember what you are up to,

When someone undervalues you.

Though life is not a race,

You can win it with your grace.

You are supposed to bleed every month,

You can conquer even a galaxy with that strength.

Each woman has her own superhero mask,

Elegantly completing every challenging task.

You are never below anyone to ask for permit,

And know that sky is not always the limit.

Remember no one holds your pen,

Write your own story to inspire now and then.

Name

Who am I?

I am unable to answer my intuition!

What the world is to me?

Most of the time I am lost in adumbration.

Who do you think I see?

The world is a home to my thoughts, the lives are the lunatic moon.

What I want to be?

The answer to question and question to the boon.

Do you think I know me?

I wish I could know myself more than the lost human.

A deity like soil,

Or the heart that boil.

A restless fish,

Or the Saint seeking peace.

A human with skin,

A mask with a monster within.

Am I what the world sees to me?

Do I need to blame!

Who am I?

An unanswered question remains the same!

Grape- Grey Area Rape

Intercourse that isn't completely consensual but isn't sexual assault or simply unwanted copulation can be counted in the Grey area rape.

What do people think rape is?

A stranger wearing a scary mask and having a weapon attacks you in the night! As we think this is how rape looks like.

As per our television, media or movie show rape as a deed done by a stranger or a group of strangers in a completely dark place and sometimes also under the open sky.

Stranger danger scenario has been created in our minds.

Stranger danger!!

Attacks happen within the stranger scenarios but 93% of the rape cases registered in India are those in which the victim knows the accused by some relation. This attacker may be a family member, ex, current partner, office colleague, etc. We have got it all wrong. There is no stranger danger, the danger is from a guy you know or there is always a uni danger.

!!!! Twist: there is no grey area !!!!

A survey from 2005 says 33% of males admit a girl who flirts is partially responsible for rape. So the problem with consent is leading to grey area rape. It is now important to figure out that if an individual is flirting, laughing, or chilling out with you doesn't mean she wanted to have a sexual relationship with you.

Why do people think there is a grey area?

Maybe it is like that because I was drunk.

Maybe he didn't want to hurt me.

We've kissed before.

What if it's because I didn't fight back enough.

All these are common thoughts that create the concept of a grey area.

Between consensual and a stranger attack!

There are most of the offences like non-consensual sex is as much offensive as rape by a stranger. An assault that is done by anyone who you know is included in crime and as much punishable as done by a stranger. In England and Wales, approximately 85,000 women experience rape or attempt to rape every year which is included in the grey area but only 15% of the cases are registered. This number can be a lot bigger in India.

Sections dealing with the Grey area rape in India.

Section 375 and section 376 of IPC

Sexual intercourse with women against her will and consent by fraud or at a time when she is intoxicated or drugged is rape and any person doing this must be imprisoned with a minimum of 7 years and also he is liable to fine.

Be sensitive about what you speak. You may not be aware of it but there are people who are suffering or have suffered from this. It's the time to relearn about rape and to know that non-consensual sex is as horrible as rape.

It must be reported without any wavering.

If you are an Indian woman in her mid-20s, the most probable conversation you will be having with your parents would be regarding your marriage, after all “jawan beti seene par rakhe patharr jaisi hoti hai”. It may be quite a normal conversation but deep down it is associated with some common beliefs and agonies.

Why do parents insist daughters to get married?

According to Indian tradition, it is the sole duty of the parents to marry off their daughters. One may say it is poverty due to which parents want to marry off their daughter to lift the burden from their shoulders. But in a well-settled and well-educated families, the same problem persist.

Log kya kahenge?

Yes, the most common dialogue of the Indian parents, but the reality is "log kya kahenge?" before coming to you went to your parents. For this Orthodox society marriage of girls matter more than the girl achieving new heights of success.

Society can never think the way a girl thinks. Maybe she wants to reach new pinnacles in her career or maybe she loves someone.

“Shaadi nhi kar rhii affair Hoga Iska to” these things disturb parents.

History and its significance?

It is believed, from western culture to our country, that girls should marry according to their parent's will, and if she is not doing, then she is in a relationship. TV, movies and everything we see around suggest the same. Society never notices girls as asset, they treat them as liabilities. It is supposed that a male will earn and because he is male, it is his birthright to dominate female whether she is his sister or his wife.

Indian marriage and problems.

If you are ready to get married at 25 or 26, the first thing that comes to people's mind is “dahej Kitna Diya Hoga?”. Why is this "dahej” so important? Indian marriages had become a way to transfer money, property and women from one place to another. A girl, after marriage, face many problems like humiliation, forcing for dowry, and even dowry deaths.

What is dowry and what is dowry death?

Dowry is simply money, property or any other asset given to bridegroom's family on the name of rituals.

When parents are unable to fulfil the demands, their daughters are forced to get money and for the same, they are harassed mentally and physically, sometimes even to death. This is what we call as dowry death.

Any solution for this?

Yes, the first and most important solution is "Never force your daughter to get married if she doesn't want to".

Secondly, use the money you collected for their dowry and educate her so no one can belittle her.

Don't ever fulfil the greed of in-laws in the name of happiness of your daughter.

A smiling and successful daughter is away better than a sobbing and depressed one.

I'm a rape victim

I'm supposed to live a breathless life

I was raped

I'm supposed to feel ashamed

I'm a rape victim

I'm supposed to suffer remorse.

I was raped

I'm supposed to settle with a hopeless life

I'm a rape victim

I'm supposed to be criticized

I was raped

I'm supposed to be held accountable

Of all the miseries that happened to me

For the deeds which were executed by a devil

I'm supposed to terminate my existence with my own will.

Let's talk about the thing, that your society always hides

Let's talk about the crime, when baised gender never cries

Let's talk about your mind that victimized a criminal

Let's talk about damaged lives and broken families

Let's talk about allegations of fake rape and dowry

Let's talk about your hypocrisy that never look a man as a human

Let's talk about your stereotype that created mess in our lives

Let's talk about pain which you never allow us to feel

Let's talk about our tears, that clearly have no right to come out in fear

Let's talk about stories that describes different definition of masculinity

And if your whole "explanation of men being dogs", find it's way to some end

Then let's talk about justice, which haven't served yet.

Trigger Warning: Domestic Violence, torture, rape, women empowerment.

Men who will be looking at her as if they were undressing her with their eyes, but she shouldn't say anything because " usne kuch kiya toh nahi na "?

There is so much discrimination between men and women. The same job women cannot do as do the men because inequality is their favorite game, and they always win. Girls are supposed to be tender, soft, shy, and quiet. She always has to sacrifice her infinite dreams, which she chooses to write on paper and throws it in the fire, because, " ghar kaun sambhalega?". She's supposed to swallow the matter aloof of how many wolves she has caged inside her chest sitting right next to her heart because "ladki ho, dherre baat karo". She should never hold between her lips cuss words because"ladki ho, tameez nahi hai "? She should wear kindness like a second skin because "koi kuch bhi kahe, jawab mt dena ".

They taught the girls right from the beginning -

"W𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘯 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘸𝘦𝘢𝘬.

W𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘯 𝘤𝘢𝘯'𝘵 𝘩𝘪𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘣𝘢𝘤𝘬.

W𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘯 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘴𝘦

𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘪𝘵 𝘢 𝘩𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘣𝘺 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘺𝘪𝘯𝘨

𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘬𝘪𝘵𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘣𝘪𝘳𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥𝘳𝘦𝘯.

W𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘯 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘧𝘢𝘮𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘴.

W𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘯 𝘢𝘥𝘢𝘱𝘵.

W𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘯 𝘵𝘰𝘭𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘦.

W𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘯 𝘥𝘰𝘯'𝘵 𝘳𝘢𝘪𝘴𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘴

𝘰𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘷𝘰𝘪𝘤𝘦."

Now you'd say none of them are taught any of these things, so where is this coming from?

No one demands an explanation,

No one asks twice,

No one answers.

Find me freedom, in humanity

and in kindness,

Find me freedom, in opinion

and in expression,

Find me freedom, in freedom.

Find me freedom in the jewels of gold,

And in the gifts of wealth,

For the bride you buy,

In exchange for your illiterate son’s virility.

Find me freedom, from patriarchy

And toxic masculinity,

Find me freedom, from the imposition

And judgement,

Find me freedom, from freedom.

*As women, we need to uplift each other and not be judgemental. We should not hold anyone accountable for not raising their voice. Maybe, they tried but no one heard. Maybe, they just need help. Be that helping hand. Let's be the reason for someone's flight to freedom. Let us take a pledge on this important day to strive for equality in the truest sense of the term. Let's be there for each other, but we must not forget the men. They too need us. Let's not do to them what has been done to us. After all, we don't want to lose the meaning of equality.*

A happy soul walking to her home

End of the day clock ticks it right.

First salary in bank and a present in hand.

They found her passing by!!

They laughed at her she fast her pace.

They find her out and closed her mouth.

The screaming silence the burning eyes.

Her soul crumbled her skin shattered.

She went home and tell her mom,

Maa they raped me!!!

An awkward silence surrounded the room.

Her mother said don't come out until you sort it out.

Society won't accept you

Impure you became.

Society blamed and her spirit thrashed.

Memories passing by and she cried.

Why only me the question arise.

She hanged herself, they said she would have fight.

Let's tell she must be in paradise.

Let's bring the candle and burn it bright.

Whole world went to sleep and the cycle repeat.

Stand up and scream this world is not hearing you.

Everyone is sleeping, they don't care how you feel.

It's all about their wishes but you had dreams too.

You took it up and never said a word,

But how long you will take to stand up.

Your passion is gone your dreams were gone.

One day the life will also go away.

When will you say,

That,

You have dignity

You have feelings

Your body is not for harassment

Your soul cried after you are eve teased

Your eyes burned when someone touched you in the bus.

You saw the bonfire, bonfire made up of tears.

Stand up the world is sleeping, if they will not awake many more will be having the darkest night of their life.

So the new Indian education system will have no pros at all? This was all just a ploy?

the pros are only for upper class people but the NEP will make it so that you don't have to chose streams and you can just pick subjects you like which is a good move but the only thing is that there are kids who've passes 10th and chosen streams and who are already studying in streams so they're left hanging

[youthagainstrape]

THE NEW EDUCATION POLICY,

Is indeed a huge change in our education system and it is nothing but a benefit to our future generations, as the important changes will be implemented after a struggle of 34 long years. But it still lacks a basic need that children, the future of our country needs the most i.e SEX EDUCATION!

Yes, we didn't find the word "SEX EDUCATION" even once in the NEP 2020, but what's even worse is that SEX EDUCATION was included in the NEP 2019 draft!

Why do we need SEX EDUCATION, and what is the meaning of it?

Sex education is the instruction of issues relating to human sexuality.

It includes emotional relations and responsibilities, sexual activity, human sexual anatomy, sexual reproduction, age of consent, reproductive rights, reproductive health, safe sex, sexual abstinence, and birth control.

It just does not only teach about Sexual Intimacy but also teaches about emotional aspects of Sex, its legalities, which type of sex is unethical and forced, what is wrong and what is right when having an Intercourse.

"Having a good sense of humor about sex will keep things in perspective" said Oscar Auliq-Ice.

SEX EDUCATION provides that sense of humor and perspective our children need to learn at the right age. The right way and the right time of sexual intimacy can play a VERY BIG role in "ABOLISHMENT OF RAPES"!

This is not only going to benefit us today but this will bring an impactful change in the lives of future generations!

The generation will be safe, and no innocent will not be left abused.

The future generations will focus more on emotions rather than just bodies, but the only weapon we need is "SEX EDUCATION"

In India daily 98 Rape cases are registered on an average, these are the cases that are reported to the police and we can say that nearly more than 50% cases go unreported.

These things are doing nothing but degrading our dignity as a nation.

Don't you think, "This has to stop!"

If yes! Then the need is to teach children the right thing to fight the crimes, let's teach them that

" PORN IS NOT SEX EDUCATION! "

Yes, you read this right!

Porn is a portray of fake and wrongly done sexual intercourse which is manipulating the minds of the generations!

And SEX EDUCATION can help us to teach children the right thing in the right way.

"Rape is one of the most terrible crimes on earth and it happens every few minutes. The problem with groups who deal with rape is that they try to educate women about how to defend themselves. What really needs to be done is teaching men not to rape. Go to the source and start there", says Kurt Cobain.

Our India report one rape case in every 15 minutes. It really needs a serious concern and it is the need of the time to make people aware about it.

Rape is not just a women's issue. It's about men too. OUR SOCIETY TEACHES DON'T GET RAPED RATHER THAN DON'T RAPE. Instead of imposing restrictions on women like not to dress provocatively, don't walk alone, don't drink, don't invite attention, and teaching them to be careful who you talk to, carry pepper spray, take self defence classes, don't go out at night, we should TEACH MEN NOT TO RAPE. We live in a society that instructs women to be cautious instead of teaching men not to harass, bully, and rape. Being responsible has nothing to do with being raped. Women don't get raped because they were drunk. Women do not get raped because they weren't careful enough. Women get raped because of someone's dirty intents and greed. It's kidnapping, shadowing, and rape against children and women. Do we all have blood on our hands in letting this go on? If you're a man upset at being lumped in with rapists and attackers just because of your gender, don't stay quiet now and support the Truth irrespective of focusing on gender.

We at "Youth Against Rape" working for this cause with a vision to make a #rapemuktbharat.

Our 3 cyclists spread awareness considering sex education and teach the children regarding the same on their journey.

This is the time to join hands against the monsters who degrade our nation's name and to protect our women from them. The power of harassers, abusers, rapists depends on the silence of the public.

LET'S RAISE YOUR VOICE AND JOIN US TO FIGHT AGAINST THE EVILS OF SOCIETY.

A hole, A cut.

Irrelevant beliefs with relevant buts.

A sexual control, but is it a need.

Cultural heritage isn't it more in deed.

For religious purity you say, and doing sin this big won't you repay.

For hygiene of your minds, aesthetic thoughts you pray,

And killing souls with bare naked hands you wanna slay.

All you want is to shut her mouth abandoning her with religious clergy,

And then end up naming being dependent is what she needs and rest all just act of forgery.

A flower you shade,

Wishing the land gets repaid.

A soul, a life, some trust, some peace are the values you pay for some absurd societal faith, that would leave the world turned into the home of some callous psyches waiting to decay.

My freedom was crumbled

When I was 3

I remember his hands moving around my body

I can still feel his touch on my skin

The skin is still burning

I want to rip it off

He is always there in family gatherings

He takes undue advantage of blind eyes

I know the monster that hides

In his fake love it resides

I know he is not what he shows

That touch leaves a scar on my wounds

That touch is enough

For my soul to feel trapped

I know that touch is going to be there

Since I breath my last breathe

My skin will be in flames

I know the pain

[youthagainstrape]

I used to be pure a soul full of cluster, Suddenly a day came I became un immoral.

They started slut shaming, they started to blame it was just because of a boy's game.

It's started a year ago like a folk tale, Everything was planned to gain the fame.

As time flew he Acquired my trust, Little did I knew it was all for the lust.

In the name of love he had me undressed, I surrendered my soul, but he only saw my body.

I thought it would turn beautiful but it just fall back, as they had my rumours all in the air.

Suddenly I was the slut with many affairs?

Or the whore who lures every men?

Boy I was sick, I took every chance I could But in the name of love you were just there to hook.

T explained everyone it was his dirty game, But they don't believe me behind the sheet of shame.

I was hurt by his play but not as much by how others saw me as a prey.

I decided to end it and stood for myself but that journey is yet to end.

Many times people start slut shaming a girl on the basis of her choosing to be with her partner physically when she trust him but unfortunately sometimes it ends badly. But no matter what it doesn't give you the right to judge her and give your unwanted opinions. You think she deserves this but what she actually deserves is more love and respect and much more support but she ends up being bullied instead. We request you to please think upon this topic and keep yourself at their place and speak about your views now. There's enough of negativity in this world and we need to come together and support each other as a society.
