We belong to a narrow-minded society where hard to mention the city or country, women and girls are not safe and are blamed. Moreover, every time girls will be judged when they are teased, abused, thrown acid or any other tragedy takes place. Whenever a girl is cheated on and she tries to lodge police and police ask awkward questions. 

            But why does everyone consider women responsible for the mistakes done by hooligans? Do they want to suffer? No, they never, just because women and girls are taught how to cook and sit at home? Rather than cooking they must be taught how to handle and face tough and hard situations. 

            No doubt, women are empowered but because of society, they fear bringing out and showing their power. Further, girls must be taught to take action for themselves defense in some harsh situations because everywhere they can't be with their parents and siblings they might go out with their friends. Hence, we must teach our daughters how to handle situations and not be afraid!
