Quote by Aysha Taryam

“This sense of shame is rooted in tribal cultures. Honour killings are one of the many tribal understandings that pre-date Islam and Christianity together. It is as ancient a concept as the crimes of female infanticides. While the former is now extinct, the latter has somehow managed surviving to this day.”

“Ghazaale was eighteen years old, pretty, and full of life. The men in her family accused her of desecrating the family honor. Their words killed her even before a single shot was fired. These cases are burried in the dark and that's where they stay: no questions asked and no information offered. It's done. The family "cleaned its name," burying the rumors together with the body.”

“In our falling and rising sometimes if not most, we encounter a force so strong it gives us hope, it propels us out of the dismal settings that we find ourselves in and fashions us into something else. Better versions of ourselves for the most part. We encounter a guiding hand, a messiah that yanks us out of our piteous disposition. Depending on our fall and this force’s might, sometimes this encounter alters the core foundation of our true being, it reinvents our nature into something we’d never been before, something we never thought ourselves capable of becoming.”
