Yes Anita. The society I live in is very conservative and dangerous for women. I have all sorts of people- neighbours, so called ‘relatives’, etc trying to poke nose into my personal life. It’s a society where people are forced into arranged marriages. I am tired of living here. I want a change of place to somewhere better, if not best.

The last time my father hit me was I guess less than a year ago. He slapped me across my face because I did not agree to do something which was ordered by my parents. Around two months ago he tried to hit me but I warned him not to do it, or the consequences would be severe. I mostly stay in my room and avoid conversing with them especially my mother.
