Didn’t know much about domino liver transplants until today’s seminar. Hearing about 10 kids getting a shot at a normal life because of it was honestly incredible.
turns out, reading voraciously, moving your body, loving people without keeping score, protecting your solitude, chasing nothing but your own growth, and occasionally staying out too late with people who make you laugh until it hurts is not a bad way to build a life.
a society should be judged not by how passionately it reacts to tragedy but by how effectively it prevents the next one. by that standard our progress remains remarkably difficult to identify.
why do these cases not radicalise us enough to demand structural change? why are they treated as aberrations rather than symptoms of a deeper societal pathology?
A 17-year-old student was raped and left to die at a hospital. A girl was killed by her cousin for using a mobile phone. A woman was killed by her own husband for denying him sex. A doctor had acid thrown on her by a lift operator. All of this happened within a single week.
every few days another woman is murdered, assaulted, or brutalised. public outrage erupts, timelines fill with condemnations, demands for justice grow louder and then almost inevitably the collective attention drifts elsewhere.
hurts my soul to even write ts, and i pray none of you ever have to go through sth like ts. im only sharing ts for awareness because knowing what to do in the first few minutes can make a huge difference.
in case of an acid attack, get the victim away from the source and
but for the perpetrators. if our response is not fierce uncompromising and relentless in demanding accountability then we are failing women just as much as the men who harm them. this shit is meant to radicalise any normal human, kya sabka zameer margaya hai???
if everything we have witnessed women endure in just this past week has not been enough to make you recognise the scale of the problem then i genuinely do not know what will. at some point ignorance stops being ignorance and becomes a choice.
what is equally disturbing is how quickly society absorbs these stories and moves on. when acts this barbaric are met with outrage that lasts a day and consequences that rarely match the gravity of the crime we send a message that such violence is survivable not for the victims +
