“Regarding discrimination against women, it can be said that gender equality campaigns will prove effective if it is launched in rural and remote pockets of countries that are surveyed as exhibiting such discrimination. There is scarcely such discrimination today among the educated lot. However, it may be agreed that when it comes to reposing confidence in the skills of women, there may be some hesitation posed. Moreover, women have always been at par with men when it comes to their abilities; it is just that both men and women are gifted differently. Women are more intelligent, while men exhibit traits of being intellectuals. Hypothetically if there is a weighing scale to weigh the abilities of what men can achieve and what women can achieve, I am confident that the scale will be balanced. I think creating such awareness will do much good rather than reclaiming something which naturally exists.”

“Thus, unless we actively seek out this information, it can remain below our radar. Or perhaps we conceal the truth because we want to protect our children from the harsh realities of gender-based violence. One could argue that protecting children in this way as a means of instilling in them a robust sense of security is an important aspect of early childhood development. But at some point, sticking to this story becomes counterproductive, for as long as we are taught that the world is a benign place for women, when harm comes to us the most reasonable conclusion to draw is that it is our fault.”

“The problem with statistics is that they are easy to ignore. There is anonymity in number, which can make it hard to hold on to the facts - the people - behind them. Statistics are by definition impersonal. In order to make the problem of violence against women palpable we need to know the stories behind the numbers,..”

“You don’t have to lie to tell the truth. One lie of what is happening or what happened makes the whole thing unbelievable and questionable. Most cases are thrown out in court not because the incident didn’t happen, but it is because someone lied when testifying because they wanted so much conviction and to make the other person pay.”

“When you speak out only when it is convenient for you. When you have something to gain and when others have something to lose. You are not a hero or a victim but a hypocrite. When you were silent, how many people have became victims. How many people have suffered that you would have saved by speaking up .”

“Most of the time. When they decide to speak up or cry out loud. It is not about them seeking justice, but it is about the money. It is about them getting what they think they are owed. Them getting what they want and their way. It is not about the truth, right or wrong. Because of that they make it hard for real victims to be assisted and get help and justice.”

They play a victim card, because they are no longer benefiting.”

“One of the greatest double standards is how some people are willing to trade their morals, values, dignity, and even personal pain for money. For them, shame or the difference between right and wrong becomes secondary, as long as there is compensation. Often, the pursuit isn't truly about justice, but about making someone pay, because they feel they are owed something. In many cases, it's not justice they seek, but a form of payment.”
