I have been following Jonas Diego’s series called “A Girl’s Story.” It is already done and you could view the last part of the story here.

I find the story as an eyeopener. Back in college, there were girls that people talk about and say really nasty things like: “Dude, she’s easy… This is what you do…” and you’ll hear a group of people snicker, say an expletive and they end up laughing about it. There are also those moments that rumors circulate within the hallowed halls of the college: “This girl and this guy were sleeping together and the girl was such a …” and more often than not, the girl is labelled as an easy girl, a flirt, a tease, et cetera. There are times when that is true and some of those girls are proud to be labeled as such. Some even flaunt it. But this is not always the case.

This series of comic strips by Jonas Diego provokes us by asking us how we think of this matter. The comic strips have been drawn neatly and the main character’s plight is clearly seen not only in the artwork but also in the words. She has been given a voice and at last she has the chance to let it out.

It happened to her. It could happen to any girl, to any woman, to any boy, to any man. It could be someone you know personally. It could even happen to you. We cannot just sit back and watch it go on. As a society we have to change: we have to hear what victims are saying, we have to stop these things.
