Women of Spirit






"A Whore. A Slut." The Urban online dictionary defines both these words as 'A Woman who sleeps with everyone'.

"Sleeps with everyone" - Really? The one who coined these terms surely never knew what it feels like to be a woman! 


People all around discussing women rights and women empowerment these days. We are debating efficient measures to usher in safety and respect for women in a country which is home to more than 5 million women sex workers. 


These Women too with a uterus, a mind, a heart. Nothing more. Nothing less. Each of whom bleeds every month to sync with nature's rhythm and behavior, gives birth to children, have had their first time with intercourse, each of whom with their first stories that pushed them into the flesh trade....


These are women. Who laugh.cry.smile.envy.think. Who live and breathe. But the law of our land wont care. Won't listen, recognize them as existent. Why? Because you think they could make themselves useful elsewhere and that prostitution is 'not by chance but CHOICE' ? .............. Really? 


Women empowerment, we discuss in my country where over 5 million women are denied legal recognition! 


Women empowerment in my country of 5 million whores. 


You call my Sister a Whore; A whore with might and courage holding her spine! It takes real substance to be a Woman. 




A Woman In My Country!
