Many of you have taken the time to read this thread. Thank you. Pls note that it is not our burden to educate others about caste privilege and neither about intersections. Unpacking is a difficult task. Please make the effort. #jaibhim
We are using our time to work with young women leaders from our communities to support survivors and families of victims of heinous crimes. The task is daunting and our efforts may seem miniscule but are significant and critical at this time.
Navigating intersections of the law is exhausting. The SC/ST Act is notorious for its poor implementation. POCSO and other IPC sections are rarely invoked for us. As a result single digit conviction rates shows no hope of access to justice for #dalitwomen
The #metoo seems to be moving towards NCW. We have already gone down the lane of working with Commissions. The max they will do is "take cognisance" of your case. They are like parasites sucking the resources out of the system. DO NOT EXPECT ANYTHING !
Perhaps it is time to re-think abput what does "justice" really mean for a survivor and her family. To do this a deeper analysis of structural reasons for the violence is essential
