The recent rape-murder of a trainee doctor in Kolkata which led to widespread protests and outrage was a reminder of the endemic nature of sexual violence in the country, despite stricter punishments for offenders. Perhaps because, barring a few, sexual assault survivors or victims rarely find justice in India. <br /><br />We visited Manipur, where just over a year ago, multiple women were sexually assaulted amid the ongoing ethnic conflict between Meiteis and Kuki-Zo communities. We met those who survived sexual violence like Angel* and kin of those who did not the parents of the Flora* who was allegedly raped by mobs.<br /><br />We also revisited an old case from 20 years ago, a heinous instance of alleged extrajudicial rape-murder. <br /><br />In all these cases, women's bodies were used as 'weapons of war' and in all these cases, no one has yet been arrested. <br /><br />Public memory about these cases may be short-lived but for many, the wait for justice is eternal. <br /><br />Reporter: Rakhi Bose<br />Camera: Sandipan Chatterjee<br />Producer: Divya Tiwari<br />Editor: Sudhanshu Pandey<br /><br />*Names have been changed<br /><br />Follow us:<br />Website: https://www.outlookindia.com/<br />Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Outlookindia<br />Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/outlookindia/<br />X: https://twitter.com/Outlookindia<br />Whatsapp: https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VaNrF3v0AgWLA6OnJH0R<br />Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@OutlookMagazine<br />Dailymotion: https://www.dailymotion.com/outlookindia<br /><br />#Kolkata #KolkataRapeCase #KolkataDoctor #KolkataDoctorCase #GangRape #KolkataProtest #Manipur #Kuki #Meitei #ManipurViolence #WomenSafety
