Unheard Voices
What role does a woman really play in a society that frequently exalts the divine feminine? Goddesses are revered for their grace, strength, and wisdom, yet we tend to overlook these same attributes in the women in our immediate environment. We prostrate ourselves before the statues of Saraswati, Durga, and Lakshmi, presenting flowers and prayers in exchange for blessings of wisdom, bravery, and prosperity. Beyond the sacred spaces of temples and homes, however, we do not show the same deference to the ladies who accompany us on our daily walks.
This is not a story of saints or sinners, heroes or villains. This story is about a society that holds its men accountable but places its expectations on women. It is a society that raises its females to shoulder the responsibility of upholding family honor while giving its sons the latitude to explore, make mistakes, and prosper without repercussions. Here, a woman's dignity is frequently given up to appease the avarice, ego, or cravings of others.
This story reveals the hidden wars and silent struggles that women fight in quiet nooks, busy streets, and behind closed doors. It highlights the suffering and injustice that women face—not because they are weak, but rather because they are socialized to put up with hardship and sacrifice. It raises concerns about why men who commit crimes go unchecked and untaught but women are stigmatized, embarrassed, and silenced.
It is an appeal for us to become more aware of the systemic injustices that exist in our families and hearts. It forces us to consider the arduous responsibilities imposed upon women, the sacrifices they make for the sake of social or familial honor, and the unrelenting anguish they endure.
The terrible reality of many women whose voices have been silenced, whose aspirations have been postponed, and whose lives have been shaped to fit narratives they did not choose are reflected in this work, which acts as a mirror to the outside world. It is an outcry for justice, a cry for change, and a demand for a future in which equality and respect are recognized as fundamental rights rather than as advantages. Through their inspirational tales of bravery and resiliency, it aims to spark a shift toward a more just and caring society.
