She is a girl,
She is beautiful,
She is intelligent,
She still gets raped.
She is a kid,
She is a teenager,
She is an adult,
She still gets raped.
She is uneducated,
She is a literate,
She is cultured,
She still gets raped.
She is an orphan,
She has both parents,
She barely feeds,
She still gets raped.
She wears short dresses,
Her clothes are transparent,
She wears long, flowing hijab and niqab.
She still gets raped.
She is a burden,
She is a blessing,
She is unfortunate,
She still gets raped.
She is single,
She is married,
She is widowed,
She still gets raped.
She is fat,
She is slim,
She is modrate,
She still gets raped.
She is five,
She is fifteen,
She is fifty.
She still gets raped.
