I'm a 17 y/o girl from a very small town, Basti, which is in Uttar Pradesh, India. To be very honest, I belong to a family where patriotism is highly valued and the girls and women are only considered for household chores. Everyone here thinks that girls shouldn't be highly educated and are prepared to take care of the house since childhood. I just wanna prove myself to everyone who has this backward thinking about girls. I write poems about this ill-thinking which reflect the position of girls in our society and also tell about the importance of gender equality so that everyone can read and understand that girls also have the same rights as boys and they shouldn't be treated like trash. At this young age, I'm trying my level best to improve the position of girls and to washout this thinking from everyone's mind that girls are just a burden for the society.
