Unnao Rape Survivor Faces Ongoing Trauma
A young woman in India has been fighting a legal battle after she was attacked.
Her father died in jail, and her aunts and a family friend died in a car crash that she suspects was not an accident.
She is still recovering from her own injuries and is waiting for the next court hearing.
The man who hurt her, Kuldeep Singh Sengar, is in jail but has asked for bail.
The survivor is very sad and scared about what will happen next.
The Unnao rape survivor has faced significant personal losses while fighting her legal battle.
Her father died in custody in April 2017, and her aunts and a family friend died in a suspicious car crash in July 2019.
The survivor herself was critically injured in the crash and spent six months on a ventilator.
Kuldeep Singh Sengar and six others were convicted in March 2020, with Sengar sentenced to ten years in prison.
