In many regions of the world, being a woman is still a disadvantage to develop faculties and virtues in equal conditions with respect to their male peers.
In the case of India, these handicaps become a severe danger since the Asian country is considered one of the most dangerous for women by the high rate of sexual offenses committed by men.
In the midst of all these complications, millions of women have to make their way to survive in a state of permanent alert. Many stories circulate on the net about it, one of them recently drew attention on social networks, it is about a mother of a family called S. Petchiammalwho, after the death of her husband, was forced to adopt a masculine appearance for 36 years to protect his family.
