Coming Home Safe Isn’t My Right is not just a collection of chapters—it’s a raw, unapologetic reflection of what it means to be a girl in a country where independence is celebrated, yet safety is rationed. Penned by 18-year-old Shreya Singh, this book dares to ask the questions society avoids: Why does the sun setting feel like a deadline for women? Why are we applauded for simply making it home alive? Why is fear stitched so seamlessly into girlhood? Through thirteen emotionally charged chapters, Shreya unpacks the unspoken truths women carry in their minds and their bags—pepper sprays, keys gripped like weapons, phones dialed but unsaid. Each chapter is rooted in lived experiences, social observation, and the quiet courage of countless women who modify their lives not for freedom, but for survival. This book doesn’t offer solutions—it offers a mirror. It speaks of bravery not as a badge of honor, but as a burden. It challenges the normalization of victim-blaming, the myth of the “good man,” and the deeply ingrained belief that being safe is something to be earned. Written in a voice that’s both young and fierce, Coming Home Safe Isn’t My Right is a wake-up call—for readers of all ages, genders, and roles in society. It’s not a memoir. It’s not just philosophy. It’s a scream written down.
