Thank you, Mridul, for bringing this powerful thought to KGAF. It touched me so deeply that I felt compelled to share it here with my friends on Facebook, Flickr, and this blog.
The doll house is an inseparable part of every girl’s childhood. Just as dolls bring joy to her world, little girls bring light, laughter, and love to ours. Every daughter is a doll, and every home is a doll house filled with her presence.
But when that laughter is stifled, silence takes over. Atrocities against girls and women — from abandoned newborns to molested children, from scarred minors to victims of violence — reduce them to broken dolls.
We can close our eyes and pretend it doesn’t exist. But one day, the cries from this Broken Doll House around us will pierce through the silence and shatter the illusion.
✨ Let’s change — to protect, respect, and cherish every girl and every woman. Let’s make sure no laughter is silenced, and no doll is ever broken again.
