Imphal, Aug 5,

Women Action for Development (WAD) expressed strong condemnation to the   untimely demise of a minor sexual violence victim of Imphal West who committed suicide by hanging herself inside her own bed room in the afternoon of 4th August 2019.  We have learn that such extreme step taken by the victim in the state is due to delaying in delivering justice system, this suicidal of victim is not the first case in the state.

Another Minor girl from Imphal West had committed suicide by setting herself on fire in the year 2018.  WAD as an organization working for the cause of women and children for the last two decades we find it as a failure of justice delivery systems on other hand lack of sincerity and concern among the Police (Investigation Officer), lawyers, Public and doctors, etc.

The major role to prevent such crime would be the government Department dealing on women and children for their protection, deputing various staffs according to their qualification to initiate their duties. Are they really doing their work in their office?  Did they provide psycho-social counseling, medical treatment to the victims in time?

WAD in a statement urged to the state government to establish Special Court for women and children in all districts of the state with its Judge and public prosecution.

 WAD also appealed to every citizen of the state including police, lawyer and concern Department to initiate for speedy justice without delay so that such incident might not happen in future and demanded for speedy justice and prosecution of the rapist without any further delayed.
