Being a Baloch girl and growing up in a Baloch society is a big threat. Don't talk to boys. Don't use social media. Don't go out. Don't talk about periods publicly. Behave like a girl. Sit properly. Learn all varieties of cooking. Be respectful to men even if they mistreat you. Wear the only  Balochi dresses. Keep long hairs. Don't remove facial hairs. I am tired of listening to these. I am who had been killed with too many dreams by identified as a Baloch girl. I was having beautiful dreams when I was told you are a girl. Moreover, being a Baloch girl every day I just screamed loud to be what I dreamed for. I want to wear whatever I want, without being the victim of society’s words "Dress properly”. I need the freedom to go out without any fear of men. Freedom to live that life that is shining in my desolate eyes. I want to stand up for myself. I want to change the mindset of society that stops blaming women.

            Stop talking about girls’ bodies, girls' characters. Stop pretending boys. Stop saying the girls that don't interfere with elders let the man talk. You haven't seen the world. He might be beyond but he knows better than you. Stop making the man superior. Apart from these if women hold the power to create a life she also holds the power to live the life she wants. This is the day to increase awareness about the menstrual cycle rather than hiding them which is more painful than a heart attack. It's high time for being treated as equal rather than seeing my dreams be killed. Further, I and my brother are having the same parents but why mine are stricter?

              Let the women be themselves rather than kill them alive with heavy dreams.
