Who should I be, if all I want is to have a life of dignity?
Growing up, I was taught girls are no less than anyone and they deserve all the happiness and joy in the world. I was taught that even the sky is not the limit to their ambitions. I was constantly motivated to dream big and go after anything I wanted. I was presented with the opportunities and the means, and so, despite instances of gender discrimination, I fought on.
Not just for me, but for all the women out there, life is a constant struggle. Each day we fight to be treated as humans, whether it be at school, college, the workplace, public parks, or even buses. Only the place changes, the struggle is constant, and we plead for basic human respect.
