Women before me have already fought most of my battles for me. I live in a privileged time where I can make my own choices and not be severely persecuted for that.

The laws have come a long way than what one could hope but there is only so much that laws can do. The only way that things can change is when people minds change.

Child Marriage: There are age limits in most countries but despite that kids get married at quite a young age. People end up saying it has been done before it wasn’t wrong then what is different now.

Laws against Acid Attacker/ Rapist: I know that most laws believes there is always a possibility that the person can recover their conscious. But I feel that it is unfair that the survivor have to live their rest of their life with the trauma. But the perpetrator after serving their time gets to get back to their life. I feel the victim needs to be given the right to decide the punishment.

Restrictive Rights: This not just about woman but about any class of people. I feel that all humans are created the same. If they have not done a crime why should their rights be any different from the next person.

There are so many other things that I feel could be better. However, I know that there a million things that need to fall into place for it to actually move in the right direction. Let’s all hope that we as humans learn to make the world a better place. A time where humanity is what rules everything and good laws just become habits.
