On #girlchildday let me highlight that how rapes have become every day news but hardly accused are proven guilty & convicted.
Here's a thread to highlight & ask them for real #BetiBachaoBetiPadhao .
Some rape statistics I shall share along with Dalit rapes that are ignored.
Recent stats quoting sources .
More than 32,500 cases of rape were registered with police in 2017, about 90 a day, according to the most recent govt data.
According to the NCRB data, 4,15,786 rape cases were reported across India between 2001 & 2017
On average, 67 women were raped every day across the country during these 17 years, or, in other words, about 3 women had been raped every hour.
While 16,075 cases of rape were reported in 2001 across India, this number rose drastically to 32,559 in 2017 - 103% increase .

After the horrifying attack and death of the #Unnao rape victim, today, another rape victim was attacked with acid allegedly for not withdrawing her complaint in #Muzaffarnagar. (1/6) Image
These are not isolated attacks. They highlight the pathetic state of victim-protection in India, underlining the repeated failures of the Government to provide protection to rape victims and their families. (2/6)
Lack of witness protection has a deterring effect on women's access to justice. The intimidation affects their willingness to report a crime, participate in the investigation and testify in the court. (3/6)

So a woman is allegedly raped by a BJP MLA. Her father is beaten up and dies in custody. A key witness dies mysteriously last year. Now her aunt who was also a witness is killed and her lawyer is critically injured in an accident caused by a truck with blackened number plates.
She herself lies grievously wounded in hospital from the same accident. The accused continues as a BJP legislator, and the BJP State Government has the audacity to run a “भयमुक्त उत्तर प्रदेश” campaign???
Does it have no moral duty towards its citizens anymore, or was that never on its agenda anyway?
