When a Girl Has to Fight for Her Education One of the most painful realities I continue to witness is not found in textbooks or research journals, it is found in conversations with young women who fear they may not be allowed to complete their education. Despite Kerala's reputation for high literacy, educational advancement, and social development, there are still many girl students who struggle to exercise what should be a basic right, the opportunity to study. It is deeply unsettling that, even today, some families continue to believe that marriage is the solution to every challenge a young woman faces. If she is anxious, marriage is suggested.

Wings of Hope Don't cut her wings—let her fly She was born to reach the sky She has many dreams to follow Bright today and bright tomorrow. She is like a little bird, Free to fly and see the world She wants to learn, explore, and grow, And find new places she doesn't know. Sometimes she may fall or cry But she will always try again. Let her make mistakes and learn, Every step helps her become strong. Don't stop her with fear or doubt. Don't say she cannot do it. Give her love, trust, and support, Not rules that hold her back. Let her dream and let her shine. One day she will reach great heights. So please, don't cut her wings away She was born to fly every day.

Just wanted you to hold me. to be loved, to feel safe. I was hungry. I was scared. I was looking for you. Why did you let them hurt me again and again? Didn't my tears break your heart? Didn't my cries reach your soul? Amma... They say children forget pain. Maybe... I thought every child grew up believing that home was the safest place in the world. The walls heard everything. The silence kept every secret. And when the world finally heard my story, I was no longer here to tell it myself. Please... A small request to the world .. The next time you hear a child crying, ...
