SPEAK UP WOMEN !!

Have you ever experienced or witnessed a woman or man being treated unfairly or taken advantage of?
Ever come across a situation where a woman you care for is being touched or spoken to inappropriately?

Recently I did...



I am going to be really honest with you guys and tell you the truth... with the intent of inspiring all or at least some women out there.



I was recently at my aunt's place, visiting her as she is on bed rest due to a knee injury. A physiotherapist, whom my aunt has known for the last 10 years or more as friends, came over to provide therapy to her. I had taken my laptop with me to her place to work on some stuff, so when the therapist came, I gave them some space and started working on my laptop.

I felt something fishy happening while the therapist was there, as my aunt kept calling me in her room with some or other excuse, every 20 min or so. Without questioning I continued to go in her room and obliged to her requests, no questions asked, no matter how much of the weird vibes I felt in the room.

After the physiotherapist left, my aunt said, 'Why did you not come and sit in the room?', 'Why did you leave me alone in the presence of a man?'. I asked my aunt what happened and she said that the therapist made a pass at her.

I was shocked.

I said, 'how is that possible? Isn't he a married man and also younger than you?'. She said, 'Yes, but you never know with men these days'.

With rage and protectiveness towards her, i asked, 'What did he do??!'
She said, 'You know how for an exercise they need to touch to make sure you are doing it right?'.
I said, 'yeah... so?'

She said, 'well, he didn't exactly touch me lightly on the knee. He caressed my thigh.'

I was shocked and shaking with Rage, but she wasn't done sharing.
She continued... 'Also, I had to stand up for one of the exercises and instead of gently guiding me with words and slight touch, he fingered my butt crack'

I was furious now at the doctor and wanted to do so many things to teach him a lesson.
My aunt was watching my every reaction and so I took a few deep breaths, enough to help calm me to help me speak without screaming or crying.

I said to my aunt, 'I was in the house, your son was in the house, the house cleaner was in the house, and your phone was next to you. you could have screamed out any of our names to get our attention the exact time when you felt him trying anything. You could have called your husband. You could have even simply yelled at him or said to him that this is not acceptable behavior and you are firing him. Anything!! Even kicked him in the nuts!!'

She said, 'how could I say anything to him? he is my therapist and a man.'
I was fuming... 'Him being your therapist does not give him the right to do anything he wants and get away with it!! Also, you are the one paying him, not the other way round. You have the upper hand.'


What I would like from you guys is... God forbid if you or someone you see, go through something like what I shared above, please SPEAK UP! This is 21st century and generation where we fight for rights and deserve justice... Don't be afraid to SPEAK UP and STAND UP for your self and against injustice. 



Please don't keep quiet. If you stay quiet, it only encourages more such behavior. 
Remember, there is Strength in number, but You gotta start somewhere... start with yourself. 

Please comment below what would you advise my aunt or other women in my aunt's place? What would you have done if you were in my or my aunt's position?
