My work is an open letter to the civilised citizens of my country. Being a female and a member of minority, there are lot of things I would like to share with my country and its people. I’m very thankful to my country for many reasons but the current rate of increasing rape cases, abductions and forced conversions of little girls is really disturbing. Worst part is that a lot of cases are not reported because the victims and their families are threatened. This place is said to be a safe heaven for women but through my work I want to bring up other side of the picture also.
