Absence of Muzaffarpur shelter home rape case from political campaign riles activists; experts seek transparency in child care institutions

Firstpost  

Editor’s Note: A network of 60 reporters set off across India to test the idea of development as it is experienced on the ground. *** Muzaffarpur: A year ago, the shocking stories emerging from Bihar’s shelter homes, particularly the horrors faced by shelter home inmates from Muzaffarpur, had rocked the nation. The sexual abuse of 34 out of 42 girls aged between 7 and 17 living at the shelter — later confirmed during a medical examination — came to light when the Mumbai-based Tata Institute of Social Sciences released the findings of its social audit of 110 shelter homes across Bihar, carried out on the behest of the state government. But I feel that the case is moving at a very slow pace.” Nivedita Shakeel, a journalist and social activist from Patna, who had filed a plea in the Supreme Court seeking registration of an FIR and an independent investigation into the case, said, “When the story broke, a lot of political parties had come out in support of the girls, but nobody is speaking about it during the election campaign. The fact is that less than 10 percent of the child care institutions are either run or Since the report, the Bihar government has increased the monitoring of shelter homes for children.
