‘There is a tendency to blame the victim’: More needs to be done to solve India’s rape epidemic

The Independent  

India is the second-worst hit country in the world when it comes to Covid-19, but there is another epidemic that has proved far harder to contain – and for which there is no simple vaccination. Radhika is a Dalit activist and an advocate in India’s Supreme Court who believes “Indian society is rotten with casteism and sexism”, she says over the phone. “It’s clear that the state government, the police, the law enforcement, and the upper caste groups all join hands together just to humiliate this one family, because they don’t want this Dalit family to seek justice.” She adds: “Dalit women are the oppressed among the oppressed in this country. Instead, they just wanted to get rid of us,” she says, adding: “It never occurred to them that none of this was my fault.” We’ve started raising our voices against all forms of injustice committed against us, because for so long we have been oppressed, for so long we have been slaves Luckily, Gunjan got help from a one-stop crisis centre in Bhopal, a city in Madhya Pradesh, run by the international charity ActionAid, which helps survivors of gender-based violence. “That is the very deep-rooted, hegemonic masculine patriarchal culture – we need to change that.” Has Narendra Modi’s government done enough for women?
