Kulwant Kaur : Silence, Not Always Wise

Sixteen-year-old Kulwant from Jehangirpuri, says, “ Earlier when boys and men spoke to me in a lewd manner or gesticulated vulgarly, I would accept it without protest. But not any more. Just recently, I was walking home and two drunken youth accosted me. I ran across to my home and complained to my father who confronted them. They were arrested and spent three days in jail. The fact that I called for help and did not remain silent is a huge step for me. I hope other girls can learn from this.”
