Don't Tell Me......

Every Woman's Voice against discrimination and human rights violations

Don't Tell Me....



Don’t tell me I am a daughter, lakshmi of the house,

When you think I am a burden



Don't tell me I am a sister- the epitome of love

When I am killed in the name of Honor



Don’t tell me I am your love of life

When I am raped and abused



Don’t tell me I am a wife-the equal partner

When I am treated like a slave





Don’t tell me I am a mother--- I am your GOD

When I am thrown in an elderly home by childrenitalics



I am

Not a property to possess

Not honor of the family to be saved

Not a reproducing machine to procreate



Tell Me ....



Even if you are single,

Even if you are a widow

Even if you are a sex worker

Even if you are a Baanjh

Even if you are a lesbian

Even if you are disabled



TELL ME....



WE LOVE YOU  FOR WHAT YOU ARE



A HUMAN, A WOMAN
