Government must ensure healthcare, rehab and justice for each rape victim - The Times of India

Government must ensure healthcare, rehab and justice for each rape victim - The Times of India: "NEW DELHI: Before dying in a Singapore hospital, Delhi's 23-year-old rape victim stirred a billion people with her tragic story. A billion, who had always taken it lying down, told the elected representatives, bureaucrats and police, that their level of tolerance has been breached and a period of accountability has just dawned on India.

While fighting for her life, the victim stirred the population to junk their "chalta hai" attitude and protested loudly against the traditional apathy of politicians, police and judiciary towards rape victims.

The anger and gut-wrenching emotions, which found a vent in the brazen violation of the girl's modesty in a bus while being driven through Delhi's busy streets, had been on the boil for sometime, even though the media, executive, legislature and judiciary failed to sense it."
