Two of 12 top caste-based sexual violence cases from 'model' Gujarat: NGO report -Rajiv Shah

-Counterview.net

The National Council of Women Leaders (NCWL), a civil rights group, has compiled what it has called “landmark cases of caste-based sexual violence” between 1985 and 2020 to mark the first anniversary of the notorious Hathras gangrape case, which led to the death of a young Dalit woman in September 2020. Compiling 12 cases from 10 States, the 15-page report, released by NCWL says, the effort is to highlight how there has been “invisibilisation of caste across these cases by the public, government, and courts, despite the clear caste-based nature of these atrocities.”

Insisting that rape is being used as a weapon by dominant caste groups to silence Dalit women and girls seeking to “retaliate” and “assert” for their rights in the “prevailing caste, class, and social hierarchy”, the report wonders, “If justice was unachievable even in cases which drew national public, media, and political attention and widespread protests, what does this mean for the Dalit women and girls who are raped every day across the country and who receive minimal attention or support?”
