Women’s Cricket Is Rife With Stories of Sexual Harassment. What Is the BCCI Doing?

With the kind of wealth available in Indian cricket and the lack of safeguards, there is no estimating what a more accurate number of cricketers facing harassment by their superiors—coaches, selectors, officials—may be. Women cricketers who have left the game are able to draw a clearer picture, but on condition of revealing neither their names nor the states they represented.

A Dalit Minor Was Gang Raped Twice, UP Police Ignored The First Time — Article 14

A Dalit Minor Was Gang Raped Twice, UP Police Ignored The First Time

A Dalit minor from Uttar Pradesh was allegedly gang-raped by the same men twice in 44 days, and a year later, the rapists set fire to her house in Laad Kheda village, causing burn injuries to her infant son born out of the rape. An examination of the case showed the UP police ignored vital evidence and registered an FIR for the first rape more than a year later, only after the minor went to the POCSO court in Unnao.

Solutions To Assam’s Child-Marriage Problem In Schools, Not In Mass Arrests Ordered By CM

The Guwahati High Court criticised charges of rape and child sexual abuse against many of more than 3,000 men arrested in Assam in less than two weeks for marrying underage women. The chief minister’s ‘war’ on child marriage focusses on marginalised minorities, particularly Muslims and devastates families. Mothers with young children are without support, as husbands and fathers are jailed.
