"I've Spent My Life At Police Stations..." - Mariyam Saigal | Spoken Fest 2019

Trigger Warning: Sexual Abuse & Domestic Violence

This is for you. For you who had a stranger feel you up in a metro on your way back home. For you who had a family friend touch you inappropriately, multiple times, growing up. For you who never mustered the courage to tell your mother what your tuition teacher did to you. For you, who saw it all happening but couldn't find the voice to say it out loud.

Mariyam found her courage in her poetry and how this seemed easier than writing an FIR. But she urges you to stand up for yourself, speak up and make yourself heard. She begs you to not take these cruelties to your grave but rather help make this world a better place to live freely. Watch her piece, "I've Spent My Life At Police Stations...", out now!
