 "The role of Khap Panchayats in caste based sexual violence"){kind=logo}
#TakeoverbyManishaMashaal
Even if a victim of caste-based sexual violence decides to brave society which in its natural state is against her and take on her perpetrators, there is one powerful institution which will come down on her and her family no matter what - the Khap Panchayat. The government provides no protection to the victims, though it is supposed to do so and the Khap of the ruling castes tries its level best to force victims to either withdraw their complaint or ‘settle’ the matter. The reason they cite for this is ‘izzat’ of the village.
