Sexual violence against women has become normalised and all women are victims #press
In India’s Gang Rape Culture, All Women Are Victims
Reports of violence against women in India have risen steadily over the decades, with some researchers citing a growing willingness by victims to come forward. Each rape desensitizes and prepares society to accept the next one, the evil becoming banal, writes Vidya Krishnan.

In U-turn in Supreme Court, Centre, Gujarat agree to share #BilkisBano convicts' remission files
The court adjourned hearing for two weeks but fixed May 9 to examine whether all convicts had been served with the notice.
Justice K.M. Joseph said that it was “more than obvious” that the men released early from life imprisonment for gangraping #BilkisBano and murdering her family during 2002 Gujarat riots were raising a maze of procedural objections to avoid his Bench.

The Supreme Court on May 2 deferred to May 9 the hearing on a batch of pleas challenging the remission granted to the 11 convicts last year in the case of gangrape of #BilkisBano and murder of her family members during the 2002 post-Godhra riots.

Moving home 30 times in 20 years, the last time in August 2022, after the Gujarat government freed 11 of those who raped her and murdered her family.

Bilkis Bano case: Supreme Court underlines gravity of crime, Centre and Gujarat refuse files
The Supreme Court questioned the Gujarat government Tuesday over its decision to prematurely release 11 men convicted of the gangrape of Bilkis Bano and the murder of 14 of her family members during the 2002 Gujarat riots.
“The question is whether the government applied its mind and what material formed the basis of its decision to grant remission,” said Justice K M Joseph.
