This poem is commendable as are you, Aftab. Speaking out about rape and abusing women needs to be brought to the attention of everyone in the world. What these evil men and rapists are doing is a sin of mankind, one that should never be placed on a woman. Gentle lambs should not be harmed in this way ever. Everyone needs to unite and put an end to this atrocity. Thank you Aftab for your compassion and caring for all women in this world. RoseAnn

Women should not be the lamb in the jungle of men, they are part of the God's creation and they have right for half of the world we live-the said three weeds are to be weed out from the social thought -A very god poem. From Sushil Kumar Tripathy, Sonepur Odisha, India
