Babala sa pag-trigger: Panggagahasa at karahasan

“He was 32. I was 11. I was playing with my friends when he approached us and smiled at me. Ngumiti ako pabalik. Hindi ko akalain na gagawa siya ng ganito. Siya ay kaibigan ng aking ama. Sinubukan kong tumakbo palayo pero hinawakan niya ako at dinala sa bahay niya. Sinabi niya na kapag sinabi ko sa sinuman, papatayin niya ako. Malabo ko lang naaalala ang mga araw pagkatapos noon, ngunit natatandaan kong humingi ako sa aking ina ng Horlicks at mangga dahil sa matinding pananabik. Nagsimula akong magregla noong 10, ngunit huminto ang regla pagkatapos ng insidenteng iyon. Sinabi ni Lola, 'Nangyayari ito!' Sa paaralan, nagsimulang pagdudahan ng mga guro ang lumalaking tiyan ko; Naisip kong tumataba na ako at ganoon din ang sinabi sa kanila. Ipinaalam sa aking mga magulang. Ang akala ng doktor ay gastritis ito at niresetahan ako ng gamot. Ipinagpatuloy ko ang aking mga klase ngunit nagkasakit pagkaraan ng ilang araw. Sa pagkakataong ito, nalaman ng mga doktor na anim na buwan akong buntis. Nagulat at nalungkot ang aking mga magulang, ngunit napakabata ko pa para makaramdam ng kahit ano. Ni hindi ko alam kung ano ang nangyayari. Pagkatapos ng regular na check-up at pangangalaga, nanganak ako sa pamamagitan ng C-section. Ang ilang mga tao ay maaaring nagsabi ng masama, ngunit karamihan ay nagbigay ng kanilang suporta. Bumisita pa ang mga kapitbahay sa bahay. Ang salarin ay nilitis sa korte at pinarusahan. Bumalik ako sa paaralan pagkatapos ng ilang buwan kasama ang aking mga magulang at tiyahin na nag-aalaga ng sanggol. Sa aking pagtanda, naiintindihan ko ang lahat. Minsan, ito ang nagtutulak sa akin sa depresyon. Kapag nahaharap sa mga katulad na problema sa buhay, ang mga kabataang tulad ko ay nanlulumo. Sa tingin ko, dapat nating labanan ang ating hinarap at subukang lumikha ng kamalayan sa panggagahasa at pagpapakamatay. Ginawa ko ito sa pamamagitan ng pagsusulat tungkol sa aking panggagahasa sa Facebook. Sa pagkakataong ito, hindi ako natakot sa anuman at nakatanggap ng maraming positibong komento at mensahe. Ipinagmamalaki ako ng aking pamilya dahil umabot ako ng ganito sa buhay. Nagpapasalamat ako sa RENEW, NCWC, sa aking tagapayo, paaralan, at sa ospital sa pagtulong sa akin sa lahat ng kanilang makakaya upang mapabuti ang aking buhay.”

Young woman breastfeeding an old man in prison cell

-
This painting of a young woman breastfeeding an old man in a prison cell was sold for Euros 30 million. The painting may look perverse but the story behind is from historical records. The poor man was sentenced to "death by starvation" for stealing a loaf of bread during the reign of Louis XIV in France. The woman was his only daughter and the only visitor to his cell. She was allowed to visit him daily but was frisked thoroughly such that no food was taken in. When after 4 months the man still survived with no weight loss, the authorities were perplexed and started spying on her in the cell and to their utter astonishment found her breastfeeding her father to the fullest sharing her baby's milk. The judges then realizing the compassion and love of the woman for her father, pardoned the father and set him free. This piece of history brings into focus how deep is a woman's compassion in our daily lives that men often tend to overlook. ©️ Successful Flow

Beyond the sky

-
  The plain ground calls, Like drop of water falls, Offering bed of roses, A real or an imaginary paradise it poses, Below, I wasn't ready to break more walls. The blue bowl above remained visible, Reminding me to soar - it's advisable, A much more deadly path to thread, Many ascended, felled but I dared, Leaving my footprints there - indelible. Life has never been fair, A heavy oppression seemed to brood upon the air, Covered time and space determines our fate, Not a mere figment of a poet's fancy that you should hate, But I have made my choice like the wretched bearing Sinclair. I choose, my decision -going beyond the tumultuous sky, Bearing all the stifling sensation of pains, I still fly, Because in destitution, I see no sudden gleam of insight, Since I know only by flying higher can I see the light, With the inspired ray in my eyes, I need to try. I'm done dallying in maudlin regret over the past, Since my life is moving too fast, On a fathomless speed of movement,
