It is hard to make this confession but I feel its is a sin to be born as a women. These words come out from my heart which is unable to bear the burden of the pain suffered by a number of women, girls. Everyday as I flip through the pages of Newspaper or surf the News channels incidents of sexual harrasment have become comman. Some weak men proove their physical strength by commiting as henious a crime as rape. And mind you nowadyas age no bar. The cases of minor rape are increasing. Innocent girls of 3 to 4 months who havent even open their eyes to the world become the victims. Thier only sin, to be born as a girl.

Despite of the increase in number of such cases what steps are being taken to bring a stop to them? Where on one hand we are singing songs of women empowerment, on the other hand such pain is inflicted on women. Our Country celebrated 60th year of Independence and honoured the women who deserve it but still there is a lot to be done.
