I was fleeing domestic violence with my three-month-old son \u2013 no car, no friends or family nearby, and still a struggling command of the local language, Catalan. There was no room for error, and yet, from the moment I left until the present day, the errors I made haunt my drowning need for justice.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>I entered Girona city\u2019s police station, frantically looking over my shoulder. I quietly mumbled in Catalan, asking if they had any agents that could speak in English. They must have guessed why and had me wait for Agent Elena. She was a local city police agent that specialized in domestic violence. I asked her if she spoke English, my mother tongue. She smiled and replied \u201cno, but you speak Catalan quite well. Please, tell me what you want to report.\u201d I reported the abuse, and I had no idea how awful it sounded as I was saying it. She reassured me that I had enough language ability in Catalan that I could express the pertinent details to a judge &#8211; little did she know that was not the case. However, because the crime was committed in the neighboring village, I needed to retell my story to the appropriate jurisdictional police: Mossos d\u2019Esquadra.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>That was when the real \u201c<\/em><strong><em>loss in translation\u201d<\/em><\/strong><em> happened. Agent Maria, the local Mossos d\u2019Esquadra agent, overheard my struggles with the language, and even witnessed me using Google Translate to express some of the more horrific details, and yet she didn\u2019t make any effort to double-check she could report the facts accurately, or ask follow-up questions to really understand them.

For many immigrant girls, cultural expectations encourage us to find a husband<\/em> <em>instead of continuing our education or building our careers. When I shared my aspirations to pursue a career in the medical field, my peers teased me that I would never be able to achieve those dreams as a girl. My parents wanted me to follow in the footsteps of my older sister and marry, rather than build a career. Because I question the norms, I am seen as the shameful black sheep in my family. In an ironic turn of events that<\/em> greatly shaped my outlook, my family insisted that I attend an all-girls high school to \u201cpreserve my modesty,\u201d but that has only further opened my eyes to my capabilities and empowered me to embrace a career in a STEM field. Throughout high school, I participated in women\u2019s rights events such as our annual women\u2019s march,<em> and attended a lecture with Supreme Court Justice Sonia<\/em> <em>Sotomayor. All these events made me realize that I could create my own path despite cultural restrictions. Being an immigrant and a minority, I had a hard time voicing my concerns because I struggled with the English language. However, seeing many students and staff who were like me at my high school encouraged me to pursue higher education and build a career.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>My traditional Bangladeshi parents expect me to spend my time in the kitchen, so I experiment in between preparing meals with my mother.&nbsp;<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>I plunged myself into school, working hard to get A\u2019s while taking rigorous science classes.

At some point, I realized that while I love and respect my parents, I believe in myself and have decided that I want to pursue my own dreams by continuing my education and becoming a physician.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>I aspire to create a program to get minority girls interested in STEM careers by connecting them with mentors from the STEM field. Leveraging other successful women from similar backgrounds and languages to speak with South Asian young girls would be a tool to help combat these harmful cultural expectations. I believe mentorship programs can help empower young girls and change outdated gender roles. The most difficult part of this project would be engaging with girls who struggle with the local language. Without language, it will be hard to help them see the benefits of getting girls involved in STEM careers; deeply held cultural beliefs are hard to change with language barriers. Fortunately, I had a mentor to speak my native language to help me progress in my studies and career.

The little girl confirmed that the barber had raped her &#8211; a six-year-old child. The police arrested and detained him for some days, but he was quickly released. However, the shame and humiliation he suffered from people sent him away from our area.

Sexual exploitation and abuse continue to occur in humanitarian contexts worldwide. We believe that prioritizing language and two-way communication can help prevent it. We worked with the Inter-Agency Standing Committee (IASC) on Protection from Sexual Exploitation and Abuse (PSEA) to make the humanitarian rules on sexual conduct clear and available in languages people can understand, so everyone knows what is acceptable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We first developed a plain-language version of the principles. Then, we removed legal jargon and complex sentence structures to make the rules explicit and clear. Finally, we translated them into <a href=\"https:\/\/translatorswithoutborders.org\/psea-translated\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">over 100 languages spoken on five continents \u2013 from Amharic to Vietnamese<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We want to thank our community members and writers, Chandler, Faria, and Peace, for sharing their stories of life&#8217;s inequity as women. It takes courage and compassion to speak up and share your own traumatic experiences for the sake of helping others. We are honored they have chosen TWB to tell their stories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We would love to hear your story too, and share your experience or inspiration with us on social media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul
