They said my dress was the problem, but what about my sister’s?
She was just a child, wrapped in cloth to stay warm in the cold.
Another sister, a doctor, wore a coat to save lives—was that the problem?
They said I was out at the wrong time, but what about my sister?
She only stepped out for lunch—did she deserve what happened?
Now, they blame my sisters, calling them wrongdoers instead of victims.
But it doesn’t matter how old they were, what they wore, or what they did.
As long as they are women, they are blamed when men do wrong.
My eyes beg for justice, but it is denied.
Is this place safe for anyone?
Or are we just imagining a world where truth and fairness exist?
In reality, the wrongdoers walk free,
And the victims are treated like criminals, forced to suffer.
Shame on us for living in a world like this.
