Doubly Marginalised

by Anila Pillai / September 4th, 2022

I am a woman, not a native of the place I live,
Thus, I am doubly marginalised.

I am a woman, and working with men, in a place where they prey seldom pray.
Thus, I am doubly marginalised.

I am a woman, and I am well educated with some looks along,
Making me in full scope to be considered for exploitations
Thus, I am doubly marginalised.
