Parvathy Thiruvothu recalls her horrific experience

Parvathy speaking to scribes, shared her horrific experience in her childhood.

She said “We are born, and then we are assaulted. Auto mein ghus rahe ho, pinch kar diya. Railway station me mummy ko chhor ke waapas dad ke saath chal rahi thi kisi ne chest pe maar ke chala gaya. It was not even like touching, it was like thap! I was a child at that time and I remember being in pain.”

She added  “My mom used to teach me how to walk on the streets. Don't window shop. Look at men's hands. Imagine a situation when a mother has to teach this to her child. Also flashing! The number of times I have turned around and seen a guy with his mundu up… showing his thing. I had no idea what was happening at that time. It is only much later when you go back and see that our bodies have been impacted by these experiences.”
