[@lahaza6515]

My heart goes out to this woman. How are people so horrible and evil allowed to carry on. Her treatment is unthinkable. A dog can literally save your emotional health and your heart if you are in terrible home life as child. Until I was allowed to have one I knocked on every neighbors door who had a dog as a little girl. I proved to them I could handle walking their large dogs and eventually it became expected that I'd be taking their dog for walks every day. We had the best moments of my life. We'd sit together, we'd go to abandoned buildings, eat lunch together by the creek, and they let you love on them as much as you want to. Finally I was given a small dog. She was the best thing to ever happen, but my mother came home one day and said we were getting rid of her. I pleaded, cried until I couldn't breathe, but we still drove to give her away. I remember her fur being soaked from my face as we got out of the car and I touched her. My hands couldn't let go of her. I will never forget sitting her down in the people's driveway and am suddenly unable to write this without crying at the memory of it. Now, decades later I try to get to know my mother in her older age, and we pretend to like each other more than we do, but I lost trust and feeling for her that I will never get back no matter how hard I try. Please if you have kids who are dedicated to taking care of things, and ONLY if you trust that they will give the utmost care to a pet, get them a rescue dog from a shelter or a dog rescue. If there is screaming and constant strife in the house though, please please don;t do it because it is painful for animals to live in domesticated, loud and stressful households and more than any creatures on earth; they deserve nothing but good because they are pure, and are angels. God Bless.

How one inflicts that kind of pain on their own flesh and blood is beyond me. Gender-based discrimination and voilence is a huge problem in my culture, but it doesn’t get the attention it needs and the system fails these women over and over again. I applaud her for having the courage to speak out about what she went through, it has shaken me to my core and I cannot stop crying. We need to do better to protect our girls and women. This is not okay, nobody should have to deal with this kind of pain and trauma.

[@autumnstar7346]

I agree. I'm Punjabi SIkh from Vancouver, Canada, and let me tell you, I'm truly disgusted by our community. Even if families don't do to their daughters to the magnitude that this woman's family did to her, but a majority of the community stays silent on the issue, and they too are part of the problem, because they feel disappointed at the birth of a girl child, think girls should act, dress a certain way, do what they are told, and so in my eyes, most people are part of the problem, that gives rise to shit families like this, who have the audacity to do what they did. This so called friend of this woman's who gave her the advice to go back home was so wrong. Why would you want to go back to a place where your father and all his friends raped you. I thought my family was bad, my parents are just plain toxic in terms of mental and emotional abuse, but I endured nothing like this to this magnitude, actually I had it much better after I got married and moved to the United States, and after I left one night my dad almost ended up killing my sister because she had to work late, and he thought she was out slutting around, and my parents the next day said, oh it was nothing. Like fuck this shit. I wish I could have 5 minutes with this piece of shit father and her brothers, and still them in a room with big military guys and lets see how fucking tough they are then. I've heard so many stories like this, it's disgusting. Glad I distanced and disassociated myself the the community.

I cried throughout the video too. It’s beyond heartbreaking how your own family can break your spirit like this. Except for the rape and breaking of bones, I suffered a lot like this woman by my family. My mother was the same kind of angry abusive lunatic. And my dad a violent drunk. My school removed me from home when I was 17 and they always told me the same thing, “so many women don’t make it out alive.” I consider myself lucky. But the emotional pain this experience leaves you with is unlike any other. My only two options in life were 1. Live without a family and be completely on your own. 2. Be seriously abused by your parents and brother because you’re a girl. I chose the first one. This is the first time I’ve heard a story that’s much much worse than mine. And mine is pretty evil.

This is so horrific and heartbreaking to hear what this lady Nina has had to endure, and no one should ever have to experience this. I have read many of the comments from the various talks given around this traumatic and difficult story, (which hopefully will encourage and inspire others who may suffer in silence to share and speak up.) However,It's important not to have a judgmental perspective that gives the distorted and negative bias that this happens purely because of cultural patterns of behaviour and differences and is therefore a common phenomenon within . It is important to remember and point out that there are deeply loving Punjabi and Sikh families (parents of Nina’s era), including subsequent generations, who adore their daughters, treat them with the utmost love and respect, and nurture them in a safe and happy family environment. Let’s not vilify all Punjabi, Sikh, and Asian families under the label that it is cultural appropriation to treat their girls or daughters with hate, contempt, or abuse. I have five sisters, one of whom was adopted by my parents. We were so fortunate and truly blessed to have parents who adored each of us, treated us with nothing but love and respect, educated us, and allowed us to form our own paths and identities in life, despite the challenges they had to face, pleasing the extended family and sometimes wider community in the process. Sadly, so much of this has to do with individual parents mindsets, personal morals, and perhaps unacceptable behaviour patterns learned from their own past and personal experiences as opposed to cultural. Abuse, whether it's sexual, physical, or emotional It is not mutually exclusive to the Indian and Asian cultures; ill treatment of children happens in all parts of society.

Votebank. The Sikhs are quite a population and also influential in UK and some other countries. What goes on in their homes can be exactly opposite of what they show to the world. Even in India, in the north-western part, where the sikhs reside along with a few other communities, the attitude towards women is pathetic. Decades ago, it was a place where rampant female infanticide was practiced until the government had to ban the practice of the determination of sex of a child by punishing any medical practitioner who did so. The killings have come down substantially but the sex ratio is still skewed in that part. Also, the general attitude towards women is just not good. So, education is low in that area with a vast majority of sikhs involved in farming. women get married early. There's less focus on their studies, goes without saying. There's a lot of focus on their looks. Skin colour is very important. They are mostly seen as wives who have to bear children. after a woman becomes older, she gains influence in the family. i would like to point out that there are many sikhs who are very educated and the exact opposite. But the rural culture is what I've described.
