This book documents the journey of the survivors of sexual violence
as they navigate the gruelling criminal justice and health care
systems and the stigma and hostility in their communities in the
aftermath of the incident. Through personal narratives of survivors
and their family members, the book examines critical gaps in the
existing networks of criminal procedure, health, and rehabilitation
for survivors of sexual violence and rape. Using qualitative
research, it distills the narratives gathered through interviews
with survivors and their family members to understand their
experiences and offers. The book contributes to the corpus of
literature on different forms of violence against women in India
with an emphasis on understanding the effectiveness of
institutions, both formal and informal, in responding to sexual
violence, and offering suggestions for changes in the health and
support systems available to them. It documents post-incident
interactions of survivors with family, community, the police,
courts, lawyers, and hospitals and highlights the impact of rape on
physical and mental health, work, relationships, education and
housing for survivors and their families. This book will be of
interest to those engaged in providing support to survivors of
sexual violence as well as students and researchers of social work
and social policy, health and social care, law, gender studies,
human rights and civil liberties, gender and sexuality, social
welfare, and mental health.
