Hilal Her

Editor's Note

July 2024

As the monsoon hastens and the heat-worn planet breathes anew, a second spring creeps slowly and twines around trees and walls alike. Whether we welcome it or not, the hope of rebirth and rejuvenation chips away at the most stubborn of scaling, sprouting life and zest where none existed. Thus is a woman’s life once she loosens her grasp on what holds her back and spreads her wings to soar to the sky.
The role of a woman varies as she traverses through her life; however, her importance never wanes. As a wife, she anchors the household to a set routine; she rushes through the day, managing chores and facilitating everyone around her. Although she manages to keep the boat afloat, she rarely finds salvation when it overturns. Left to the unruly and uncharted territory of the trauma of divorce, alienation, and starting over, she is left to her devices and to be tossed about as the sea pleases.
This month, Her catalogues the trials and tribulations of roads seldom travelled. For women who have to bid adieu to a partner, the path of starting over comes with its own unique challenges. Not only is she held responsible for the failure of a marriage, but her decision to part ways is made controversial. The lack of sensitivity shown by society towards a personal decision adds insult to injury. Thus, a woman’s trauma is amplified.
Be it the incorporation of a newer lifestyle or a blended family, a woman’s stature is chiselled anew. While she adjusted her sails, any way fare wind can tip her course, and the voyage starts from scratch. Moreover, the uncertainty and doubt that comes from within proves detrimental to growth and healing. With Her, a woman beginning a new journey in her life has an outlet for her anguish and answers to some of the questions that might keep her awake at night. By assisting in raising awareness about female mental health, Her aims at helping women gain the momentum that would make them a force with which no one can meddle.
