Does anyone else feel like leaving this country?
I wasn't born in India but I have an Indian passport and moved here about 11 years ago permanently.
As much as I love the food, the climate and my friends, I am traumatised by the everyday stories women share on Reddit.
Everyday, there are women being sexually harassed, groped or worse.
And, despite having 2 dogs and continuously taking precautions, my anxiety is at an all time high when I leave the house. I have to think multiple times before doing so and I only travel during the day.
I want to be able to walk outside without worrying about my clothes, the time of day or my transport. I want to be able to trust people without second-guessing. Are women just used to this feeling or is everyone else just as anxious as I am?
