Trapped within the walls of stereotypes, social expectations, traditional gender roles and responsibilities, the world’s finest artists and human beings are suffocating and are being snuffed out.  Why can’t you put makeup on if you’re a boy? Makeup is not a gender-specific activity, it’s a form of expression open to anyone and everyone. What’s wrong with being attracted to someone…

Are Feminism and Gender Equality Different?

What is feminism? Feminism stands for the advocation of woman’s rights to bring about equality of the sexes. Although, this definition has been much tarnished to form an idea that benefits our beliefs. Sexism and the inherent difference between man and woman have been drilled into our beings since time unknown. We have grown up with the idea that man…

Smoke everywhere, Tyranny prevails. Children die as their mother wails. Bombs, Guns, Terrorism win, The voices once heard now go dim.

Unspoken

Cease the censure

Should they censure their ethnicity, When their liberty is held captive? When no joy was received, nor felicity? And their rights and laws substantive? What paradise on earth? Which Switzerland of east has these conflicts? Is it a myth?  is it a lie? “Kashmirees are safe in heaven” In disguise? Women sexually harassed, Men brutally killed. We’re killing our brothers,…

Never letting me move on, Never letting me forget, Always reminding me, telling me I’m stupid, I’m worthless, I’m ugly Leaving my mind in a constant fret. It hurts. Not just my mind, Not just my soul, My body too. When…
