Traveljunkieindonesia.com – When from YSIK sent me an email a few weeks ago, asking me to write for “16 Days for Forever”, an international campaign about violence against women which was held on 25th November – 10 December 2010, I said yes and I thought this writing was going to be easy. I thought I could finish this writing quickly and simply. I was wrong. My experience with violence has never been easy. My life as a woman has never been easy either.
The most difficult thing in writing this is that I didn’t know where to start or how I should speak. I don’t know the limitations on things to discuss. How do I make this writing, or perhaps I should call this a testimony, light, easy to read and understandable for many people. In the end, this is going to be heavy. Violence has never been light. It should neverbe taken lightly.If so, we’ll be losing our humanity.
