"Give Me Back My Right To Live Without Fear And In Peace": Bilkis Bano
Bilkis Bano, the survivor of one of the most horrific rape cases during the 2002 Gujarat riots, has said the release of the 11 rapists has "shaken" her faith in justice.

New Delhi, 18 August 2022

As per news report of NDTV, Her first statement since the release two days ago, hinted at a sense of deep hurt and betrayal. It has left her "numb" and "bereft of words", she said. "How can justice for any woman end like this? I trusted the highest courts in our land. I trusted the system, and I was learning slowly to live with my trauma... My sorrow and my wavering faith is not for myself alone but for every woman who is struggling for justice in courts," said the woman, whose fight for justice went on for 18 long years. The short statement also hinted at shock at the Gujarat government's move to release the convicts without any consultation with her. "No one enquired about my safety and well-being, before taking such a big and unjust decision," she said.
