A year on, India Dalit rape victim’s family waits for justice

Al Jazeera  

The family of a 19-year-old Dalit girl, who was gang-raped and murdered, says the hope for justice is fading as the case drags on. Get those kids hanged?” said an elder male in the accused’s house located opposite to the victim’s family. “We live at home, but home has become a jail,” said the victim’s elder brother, Satyendra Kumar, 30, who represents the family in court hearings. If proven, this would implicate the younger brother and potentially the mother too,” she said, adding that by accusing the victim’s family of honour killing, “the brother has become an accused too”. “Violence, including rape and gang rape, have been systematically utilised as weapons by dominant castes to oppress Dalit women and girls and reinforce structural gender and caste hierarchies,” said a report by Equality Now, which works on women’s rights, and Swabhiman Society, a Dalit-led grassroots organisation in India.
