killed in the womb, touched without permission,
for Her, what’s immoral was forever society’s decision…
beaten and molested, sneered when She bled,
for ages condemned, abused and raped,in a Man’s World, Her story will be told as a fight for survival,
forged through fire, like a Phoenix, she rises,
espousing the scorch, no matter how brutalShe doesn’t need empowerment, (doesn’t) require your validation,
in Herself she is complete,
in Herself, she is His finer CreationLet’s take this day, to express to Her, our gratitude,
Love and respect Her for whoever in our life she is,
identify Her unparalleled fortitudeDebanjan MAZUMDAR, MSc. International Strategic Business, Class of 2020
