"women's safety has become a crisis in india. Swara Bhasker Said: We have a situation where at least three high profile members, who hold elected office, are accused of rape.
In the case of City Unnao and Chinmayanand, the victims have had to face serious personal consequences for, reporting rape. This is an alarm for our entire society for
wake up. We need our lawmakers to walk the talk with regards to women's security and safety," Swara said.
The victim in the Unnao case, who was by allegation kidnapped and raped by expelled Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MLA Kuldeep Singh Sengar in Uttar
Pradesh's Unnao in 2017, had an accident in July this year 2019. She was admitted to capital delhi's All india Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) for two months and
discharged yesterday. Now her family fears going back to their hometown because they are apprehensive about their security and safety.
The law student who has accused BJP (Bhartiya Janata Party) leader Chinmayanand of rape has been arrested by Uttar Pradesh Police on charges of extortion, cheating and
blackmailing. The city Shahjahanpur student has alleged that she was raped by Chinmayanand for over a year. swara bhaskar has raised her voice regarding the consequences faced by these rape victims. Yesterday, she tweeted in twitter reacting to the news of the Chinmayanand victim's arrest shared by a journalist. "Beti inhi se bachao!! (Save your daughter from such people) Shame!!" she wrote.
The actress also shared how she was trolled after tweeting her opinion and belief. "I tweeted regarding the same and one user/ troll made fun and joke of the victim's ordeal
by asking if I was raped as well, with a smile at the finish of the sentence. I reacted by using an expletive because I feel that sometimes people who use abusive language or
try to slut shame women by cracking rape or adult jokes need to be reminded that women can swear as well," she said. Taking a dig at woman-hater, the actress added: "I don't think it's fair to expect women to brave the risk of being raped, the threat of arrest if it's reported and also bear the burden of being dignified in the face of abuse and wrong words use. Sometimes woman-hater has to hear it like it is."
