To be raped and paraded naked.
This is the abhorrent punishment that two young sisters are now facing as ordered by an unelected, all-male village council in northern India. 23-year-old Meenakshi and her 15-year-old sister have fled their home in fear for their safety. The council ordered the rape as punishment for their brother's elopement with a married woman. This is illegal and a grave abuse of their human rights. Demand immediate intervention to protect the sisters. The sisters' family made complaints to local authorities, but now face more harassment from the village, as well as from police. Act now to tell the state's Director General of Police and Chief Minister that the world demands their protection.
