Heard of it? No? Well, Zainab Ansari was a 7 year old girl who was raped and killed and then thrown into the garbage bin in the town of Kasur, Pakistan. This arose wide spread of anger in the entire country.
There are many hashtags used and everything is viral on the internet.
I saw approximately 15-20 people posting story i.e.”If you are against rape, repost this, I can see who viewed my story.” I mean seriously? Will that do anything to the rape victims? Will this give Zainab her life back? Isn’t this stupid of us, posting these stories all over social media?
I had a convo with one of my friend, and he said this is “TREND.” No, it’s not a trend that everyone is taking the screenshot of those “post if you are against rape” and posting it. This is a social sensitive issue which should not be taken as a trend.
There are almost 1,00,000 rapes over the population of 2011-12. No one’s safe around but we can’t stop living.
Our society always taught us don’t excite men, don’t get raped, don’t give a hint of your skin but never taught what should be.
A rapist will rape if he has the intention to, whether the women is in burkha, skirt or anything else. Low estimate of rape per year is 3,00,000. They can’t stop, won’t stop but we have to do something than just posting story. Isn’t this really shameful of us? By posting these stories what are you giving the people who have been through or loved once? This isn’t even raising anger among us.
It’s just not about her, it’s about child abuse, it’s about how unsafe the world is, about pedophilia, about women, it’s about us.
When I look at the pictures of that innocent girl, I find that her eyes are looking at me, crying for help, like she’s is someone who belongs to me.
I know, most of us can’t stop this but yes we can stop swearing to someone’s mother or sister. Can we? We can pray for every rape victim and her family? Yes we can.
The worst part of all is, we teenager find words for abusing women and then these words are passed to younger once, we slut shame people and then we are the one to yell at coming generation for abusing women. Fair? No.
“Hey, you’re Indian and you are supporting a Pakistani girl who means nothing to you, why will you even do that?” Let me tell you, she lost her life because of a rapist and many girl did too. It doesn’t matter to me what she was, all it is, is she was young, really young. When it comes on to your sister, girlfriend, crush or mum, you’ll always be ready to smash the hell out of that guy, so why can’t you support someone’s who belongs to someone else? What is she even to me? Why would I do that? That’s the only cause of rapes in the world.
Fight for unjust. Fight for what belongs to you. Fight for what’s wrong. Raise your voice, save someone’s life.
Thankyou.

That poor girl.. She could be anyone’s child, niece,granddaughter etc. Paedophilia is a disgusting disease, and needs to be punished severely in the West and East.

We can stop blaming women who are raped. We can start talking about what happens to us and to other women, because when it happens in secret, we have no power. We can start expecting men to take responsibility for their own sexuality instead of blaming women for it. We can, in whatever way we’re able, even if it’s only in words, hold men to account for their actions. And we can do what you’ve done here: Write about it and keep the issue part of the public discussion. Thank you for doing that.

It’s so frustrating and disgusting … and we seldom see criminals being punished in a way so as to make people shudder before even thinking about doing anything like this
