    There are times when we tend to give up on life and get bogged down by losses and failures. 
     
    But this girl’s story will make you forget about everything that’s wrong with your life and inspire you to get up and make something of it. Her story was shared on the Facebook page Humans of Bombay and has gone viral on social media for all the right reasons.
     
    Her mother, trafficked from Kerala, was a sex worker in Mumbai’s red light area Kamathipura but then she quit working as one after her father fell in love with her and the two married. She was born but they couldn’t move out of the area because of finances. 
     
    At school, she was discriminated against and called a “crow”. At the age of 10, she was raped by one of her teachers but it was only at 16 that she realised it was rape. Now, her parents have moved back to Kerala but she continues to stay in Kamathipura which she feels is her home and, aware people of good and bad touch through theatre.
     
    “I was never discriminated against in Kamathipura, but I was outside. I was never sexually abused here, but I was at a school in Bombay,” she wrote.
