She was blessed with kindness,
She was bestowed with charm,
She was born to fly high and free,
And not to be caged and be abused.
Her silence is not acceptance of oppression,
If her beauty can sway your heart,
Her anger can burn you to ashes.
Couple of weeks ago or so I just happened to view a
teaser of the short film called “Dwar” (to check out the Promo click here). And I must
admit I was impressed and was also intrigued as to what the full version of it
would be like. And then couple of days ago I received the link to view the full
version of the film from the makers of the film Know Your Star. (To check the full version click here). I viewed it
once and then I viewed it again. The next few minutes I sat there in front of
my laptop in silence, for I was blown away by what I had watched.
It’s not the creativity alone showcased in the film by
the makers that triggered me to write this post. It was the cause they
addressed through this short film called “Dwar” that instinctively
made me grab my pen and pour out my heart out on my scribbling pad for it had
made an impact.
“Dwar”
is not just about the society we are a part of that is plagued with rising
instances of harassment of women. It’s about taking a stand and fighting back. It’s
about a beginning to put an end to this menace of abuse against women.
It’s not about being sympathetic towards the cause that
the movie addresses. It’s about making every women realise their strength. In a
nation that prays every morning to goddesses galore for their well being, isn’t
it shameful that certain section of the very same nation treat women as mere
objects of desire.
Public records state that in the last five years the
registered cases of women harassment has increased by 25%. This doesn’t take
into account those countless cases across the nation where women have chosen to
stay silent or have been silenced by society. There are certainly large numbers
of cases were women may not have spoken in open about the instances of abuse
because of societal pressures.
I believe the time has come for us to come together and
put an end to this menace. It’s about time for transformation to set in. Its
time every man begins to look within and question his intents and pledges to
cleanse his soul and the society. It’s also time for every woman to awaken her
inner strength, stand her ground and say enough is enough. It’s about time she
spreads her wings and flies freely like the angel she was born to be.
