Silent Scars

Aisha had always been the brightest girl in her school. She dreamed of becoming a lawyer, fighting for justice in her community. But one evening, as she walked home from the market, her world shattered. A man from her neighborhood, someone she had trusted, dragged her into an alley. Her screams were swallowed by the night.

When she returned home, bruised and broken, her family told her to stay silent. "We can't bring shame to our name," they whispered. But Aisha refused. She gathered her strength and reported the crime. The police hesitated at first, but after the intervention of an activist group, her attacker was arrested and sentenced to life in prison under the new gender-based violence law.

The case sparked a movement in her town. Women who had suffered in silence began to speak up. The government enforced stricter punishments for abusers, shelters were built, and young girls were educated about their rights. Aisha, though forever marked by her trauma, became the voice for those who had none.

Society finally learned that gender-based violence doesn’t just hurt one person—it cripples families, weakens communities, and destroys futures. But with courage, justice can prevail
