In school, I had never thought about how difficult things are for women. Things started
making sense when I went to college and read about social bias, oppression and patriarchal
nature of our society. I had always thought that I come from a liberal family, but lately I
realised that things that appeared normal were actually oppression I had to face because of
being a woman. I have been working with a charitable trust that aims at helping the Muslim
weaver community Ansari. I attended a seminar when women expressed how they were
reduced to mere household help, did not had any say in family matters and were oppressed
time and again. A few of the women were the victims of Talaq. The entire incidence
staggered me and I realised that I need to work for the women.
