Yes a lot of things ranging from ethical and moral education, sensitization and clarifying the wrong customs, practices, prejudices etc. We need to shun retrograde practices through arguments at public forum and awareness campaigns.
Yes but sometimes it is the family pressure, what you are saying is truly understable, but by saying mother i was raking the emotions towards an innocent girl yet to be born so put the word Mother. Ya obviously no mother wants to do that, but she is forced.
well.. ur awesome selection of words .. well placed, to bring about a sense of remorse .. make me realize.. its womankind which is its biggest enemy !!
This is heartbreaking - some truths often are. I like it when a Haiku portrays social ills in our different communities - A great way to bring attention to the issue and generate debate
This is a heart wrenching plea you have expressed! Tragic to be unwanted!
