Hello and welcome! I have decided to start a series, which I’ve named “The Unheard Voices". In this series, I’ll be discussing various incidents and cases where people have faced injustices, abuse or mistreatment. You might be aware that many such stories get reported in the news, but there are also many cases that go unnoticed by the media, or the victims often hesitate to report them out of fear of what others might think and they’re afraid of being shamed in society. This kind of situation is more common in third-world countries where the rich and powerful are often protected, while the poor are left vulnerable. When a wealthy person faces injustice, it usually gets recognized as such, but when a poor person does, they are often forced to be silent. In my series, I’ll be shedding light on these issues and the challenges faced by victims who remain unheard and didn’t receive the justice they deserve.
