Nine-year-old girl gang-r*ped by three minors in MP’s Rajgarh; accused sent to juvenile home.What Happens When Misogyny Goes Unchecked?
[TW⚠️: Rape, SA, Abuse]
BHOPAL: In a shocking incident, a nine-year-old girl was allegedly gang-raped by three minors aged 12, 13, and 16 in Rajgarh district of Madhya Pradesh.
All three boys have been booked under Section 70(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), which addresses the gang-rape of a minor under 18 years of age, alongside relevant provisions of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act, 2012. Following an appearance before the Rajgarh juvenile court on Tuesday, the trio was remanded to a juvenile correctional facility in Bhopal.
According to investigators, the other two boys, a 13-year-old student and a 16-year-old Class VII dropout, subsequently arrived at the spot. The trio then lured the girl deeper into the forest under the pretext of plucking date palms.
Once isolated, the boys sexually assaulted her sequentially. Statements recorded from the victim indicate that the 16-year-old instigated the assault and directed the other two minors to follow suit. He also allegedly attempted to record the assault on his mobile phone, though police suspect the footage was subsequently deleted.
ANOTHER RECENT CASE:
17-yr-old boy held for sexually harassing and m*rd*ring 9-yr-old boy
Pudukottai: A day after a 9-year-old boy was found de@d with injuries on his face and neck near Karambakudi in Pudukottai district, police detained a 17-year-old boy on Sunday on charges of sexually harassing and m*rd*ring the boy.
The deceased, a Class IV student, had gone out to play with his friends on Saturday evening and did not return. During the search, his father and local residents found him dead near a pond, about 100m from his house, on Saturday night. He had injury marks on his neck and face and was found without his trousers.
Police said during the investigation, the 17-year-old boy confessed that he tried to sexually assault the victim and strangled him to de@th when he tried to resist.
"When the child resisted and tried to escape, the 17-year-old boy strangled him with a cloth and m*rd*red him," said a police source.
When girls and women are devalued, objectified, or treated as less deserving of respect, it creates an environment where harassment, SA, and even rape become more likely. Rape is the final form of misogynistic attitudes.
Rajasthan horror: Girl, 13, sold to hotel owner, r*ped by 30 men over 5 days. Do you think enough attention is given to trafficking cases involving minor girls in India?
A 13-year-old girl was allegedly raped by more than 30 men over five days in Rajasthan's Sri Ganganagar. The purported instances of sexual assault are said to have taken place in several hotels.
According to the FIR filed by the police, the survivor's ordeal began after she went missing from her home and was subsequently sold to a hotel owner by a rickshaw puller.
Several other hotel operators are also accused of being involved in the alleged sexual exploitation of the minor. An attempt was allegedly made to suppress the criminal episode.
A number of hotel owners and managers have been arrested in connection with the case. The teenage girl was forced to consume alcohol whenever she experienced pain from the repeated instances of rape, she has claimed in the FIR.
Human trafficking and the trafficking of girls often receive far less attention than they deserve. Many cases are reported only in local news and quickly disappear from public discussion.
Here are a few recent cases and articles in case you missed them.
Man Stabs Ujjain Student 14 Times In 47 Seconds For Rejecting His Advances.
Ujjain: A 19-year-old college student was intercepted by a man on a road in Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh, on Friday. The two spoke briefly before the man launched a frenzied attack, stabbing the woman 14 times in 47 seconds and leaving her fighting for her life in the hospital.
The accused, 21-year-old Sunil Jaroliya, was arrested within three hours of the attack. Police revealed that he wanted to marry the woman; when she rejected his advances and refused to speak with him, he allegedly committed the crime.
After the attack, he tried to flee from the police and fractured his leg jumping over a wall.
In India, a woman’s “no” can become her d*ath sentence. A simple rejection has resulted in acid attacks, stalking, horrific v*o*ence, and m*rder throughout time and time again.
Teen drags 7-year-old into flat, gags and r*pes her near Mumbai.
As news of the brutal sexual assault spread through the neighbourhood, hundreds of residents converged outside the police.
BHIWANDI: Police have successfully tracked down and arrested an 18-year-old man who allegedly sexually assaulted a seven-year-old girl in his rented flat in Bhiwandi taluka, within two hours of the official complaint being registered. The girl is undergoing treatment at a sub-district hospital, said police.
On Thursday afternoon, the girl and her 10-year-old brother were playing outside her building when the accused lured them away with the promise of buying them snacks, police said.
He gave the brother a Rs 50 note and told him to buy a bottle of water, and allegedly dragged the girl to his rented flat nearby. He tied her up, gagged her, and sexually assaulted her, police claimed.
The girl managed to return home in the evening and narrated the ordeal to her parents, who rushed to the Narpoli police station and filed a complaint.
Why do we undermine gender-based v!o!ence so much, and why is there not enough conversation about it? Why are cases involving minor boys increasing, and why are they not seen as seriously as others? I keep asking these questions, but what is the solution? How can we stop or dismantle this system?
Delhi r*pe-m*rder: Accused cab driver had 5 cases, assaulted cop — but red flags ignored.
[TW⚠️: Rape, SA, Abuse]
Even as five cases were filed against him in 2015, 2017, 2018 and 2022, he had been working for ride-hailing firms in Delhi for several years, officers said.
Bashu Kumar (29), accused of kidnapping, raping and k*illing a 10-year-old in South Delhi’s Mehrauli, had been driving cabs for ride-hailing apps in Delhi-NCR for 10 years — despite a long criminal history that included two attempt-to-m*rder cases.
The cab was registered with two online aggregators, and police believe he had not undergone the mandatory police verification.
A senior officer said investigators are checking records with the ride-hailing firms. Police have also questioned the vehicle’s owner about the verification of the accused.
Officers said five cases were filed against Kumar in 2015, 2017, 2018 and 2022 in Bihar: two of attempt to murder and three of thrashing and quarrel. He also allegedly attacked a police officer in Bihar’s Khagaria district, said police.
‘No remorse’
Around 4 am on Monday, the child, who was sleeping with her family on a footpath near a Metro Station in South Delhi’s Mehrauli, was allegedly abducted by Kumar, raped, strangled and later dumped near the Gurgaon-Faridabad border, said police.
During questioning, the accused, who lives in Gurgaon, showed no remorse for the crime.
“He is v*olent in nature and loses his temper quickly. He has shown no remorse for his actions and has repeatedly changed his statements. At present, he was staying in a rented accommodation with his brother in Gurgaon,” a police source said.
“During questioning, he said he intended to drop the girl near a Metro station in South Delhi after the assault, but when he saw policemen with her parents, he drove her to Gurgaon-Faridabad Road, where he allegedly assaulted her again and then k*lled her. He later changed this statement,” the source added.
According to the source, police were still verifying facts and the sequence of events.
Picked up a passenger after a v*olent crime
Sources said on Monday, after the alleged attack, Kumar even picked up a passenger in South Delhi and dropped them in West Delhi’s Vikaspuri before being caught by a police team led by Station House Officer Inspector Ritesh Kumar.
Police said Kumar did not admit to the crime for several hours but later broke down in the evening, following which the girl’s body was recovered.
Police nabbed the accused following a probe aided by CCTV footage, vehicle registration checks and GPS tracking, said officers.
He was subsequently admitted to the hospital, and a separate case for assault on a police officer has been registered.
I thought justice was served on a silver platter for women and young girls. Why were these reports ignored? Not once, not twice, not three times, but five times. Why didn't the police do anything? She could have been saved. Why was there no proper investigation or meaningful action?
Why do people still refuse to accept that we live in a systemic misogynistic society??

Why is accountability and acknowledging male privilege such a kryptonite for most males?
India is still deeply regressive towards women and girls. Dowry deaths, child marriages, DV cases, rape, and honour k\*ll\*ngs are still rampant.
Sometimes it genuinely feels like the suffering of women and girls has become so normalised that people barely care anymore.
The moment a male victim is involved, suddenly there is endless outrage, endless posts, endless discussions, and endless demands for justice. But when women and girls are the victims, it's crickets and downvotes even in women centric community.
A case involving a male victim comes forward, suddenly it’s “lock women up,” “women need Taliban treatment,” “this is why feminism shouldn’t be taken seriously.
Like where is that same outrage when rapists are garlanded, welcomed back into society, or handed absurdly lenient punishment due to their political connections? Meanwhile, survivors spend years fighting just to be heard.
A lot of people seem to want the benefits of feminism while simultaneously throwing women under the bus.
They mock women’s concerns, dismiss misogyny, and degrade women at every opportunity, yet expect women to constantly center male feelings in every discussion.
Women and girls continue to face v\*o\*ence, discrimination, medical misogyny, gender pay gap, unpaid labour and attacks on their rights across the world.
The reality is that many feminists have done more to challenge DV, sexual assaults or change the definition of rape while dismantling harmful gender roles, and toxic ideas of masculinity which gets pushed by red pilled males. Yet somehow women and feminists are expected to solve problems they didn’t create while being blamed for them at the same time.
Yet women aren't allowed express anger, distrust, or frustration toward a system that has repeatedly failed them, people rush to police their tone instead of addressing the problem.
Women are expected to remain calm and baby them while discussing why rape, domestic violence, harassment, child abuse, and discrimination is bad.
Why are women-centric movements expected to include their oppressors while watering down feminism to protect male egos and their privilege?
And why are women not allowed to be angry at systems that continue to enable abuse, rape, discrimination, and exploitation, even trafficking against women and young girls?

Drunk Man Be*ts Wife, Shaves Her Head, Forces Her To Drink Urine.What does this say about the way society treats vi*lence, humiliation, and ab*se against women?
[TW⚠️: Rape, SA, Abuse]
Videos of the incident showed the accused repeatedly slapping and kicking her, shaving her head, and smearing a black substance on her face and body.
Korea (Chhattisgarh): A man was arrested in Chhattisgarh's Korea district on Thursday for allegedly assaulting the wife brutally, tonsuring her head, and forcing her to drink his urine.
While incident occurred on June 14 at Pandopara village under the Patna police station limits, police registered the First Information Report after purported videos of the atrocity surfaced on social media.
The woman, in her mid-30s, lodged a complaint on June 15 alleging that her husband, identified as Jitendra Ghasiya, beat her up mercilessly while being drunk, Korea in-charge Superintendent of Police Suresha Choubey said.
A case was registered under Sections 85 (cruelty by husband or relatives), 115(2) (voluntarily causing hurt), 296 (obscene acts) and 351(2) (criminal intimidation) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), she said.
The victim had not initially mentioned the details of the incident. After the videos surfaced on Thursday and the entire incident became clear, Section 123 of the BNS, related to administering a harmful, intoxicating or stupefying substance with intent to cause harm, was added to the case, Choubey said.
Speaking to reporters, the woman said she and Ghasiya had a love marriage around 15 years ago and they have four children who live with him.
Ghasiya, who suspected her character, abandoned her about a year ago and she has been staying with an acquaintance since then, she said.
The accused arrived at her place on June 14 and attacked her, the woman said.
"He tied my hands and legs, assaulted me and abused me. He first cut my hair with scissors and then shaved my head with a blade. He forcibly poured urine into my mouth and also poured a child's urine on me. He threatened to burn me alive," she alleged.
Videos of the incident showed the accused repeatedly slapping and kicking her, shaving her head, and smearing a black substance on her face and body. Her clothes also appeared to have been torn during the assault.
Police said further investigation into the case is underway.
A man who abandoned his wife and kids for a year returned to her home, physically assaulted her, shaved her head, and allegedly forced her to drink urine while intoxicated. How do such extreme acts of vi*lence continue to happen, and why do cases like this often receive so little attention? It's getting impossible to keep up with news with the amount of cases coming forward like these almost everyday.
This body-shamed DU graduate st*bbed random strangers in Noida 'because he h*ted women".How come cases like these get brushed under the rug so easily?
Man's deep-seated insecurity and marital discord fueled a shocking spree of scissor attacks on six women in Noida.
NOIDA: Two years into marriage, Ankit Verma's life had curdled into resentment. Repeated taunts over his thin build, especially his skinny legs, and friction at home with his wife appear to have fed a deep sense of insecurity in the Khoda resident.
That bitterness slowly hardened into a general hatred towards women - and then spilled onto the streets of Noida. Riding a blue scooter, Verma went around st*bbing six women with scissors in a span of three days.
This was not a case of personal enmity. Police said Verma (26) - a BCom graduate from Delhi University who worked as an accountant with a private firm in Noida Sector 62 since 2022 - did not know any of the women he attacked. He allegedly chose them at random, mostly when they were headed home from work in the evening.
"The pattern was simple. He approached the women from behind on a scooter, struck below the waist with a sharp object, and fled before the victim could react," an officer said.
"When questioned, he said he did not know any of the victims. He claimed it was pure hatred that was building up inside him against women because of what he has gone through in the past," the officer said.
Family members told police Verma was usually quiet and withdrawn, though arguments at home were not uncommon.
After his arrest, four more women came forward and their statements were recorded. Noida cops said they are also in touch with their counterparts in Delhi after learning he may have carried out similar attacks there. Verma, police said, was remanded in judicial custody and will be counselled.
How come cases like these get brushed under the rug so easily?
How come they get forgotten and not talked about enough when they raise serious questions about the safety of women and children?
Because if it were the other way around, imagine the reaction.
Why do we undermine or stop caring about mass attacks against women so quickly?
I keep saying this: misogynistic teenage boys and misogynistic men should not be trusted around children, especially young girls and women.
Misogyny doesn't just stay as hatred. It can escalate into harassment, v*o*ence, sexual ass*ult, mass attacks, and other horrific crimes against women and girls.
We have truly made a safe space for males to admit to raping their own wife.
As for the comments they are pathetic for sure.
Blaming the wife, telling him not to include family members.
How well do you think Indian men can gaslight Indian women into accepting their misogyny and their denial of r*pe culture?
This is a guy whose whole account is hating Indian women and girls and justifying every sort of crime or wrongdoing against them, even though he says he does not.
But let’s see how good he is at using DARVO, whataboutism, and gaslighting women.
He is actually saying the Sejal joke was worse and a bigger crime than a man who was actively describing how he raped a woman step by step and pressured her into sex just because he paid for biryani.
He hates the fact that auto rickshaws have sanitary pads for women and thinks women receiving some medical advantages is hatred towards males and women exploiting their female privilege.
When Indian women call out misogyny, he calls them pigs, defends dowry, says feminism is misandry, while constantly claiming that 80 per cent of DV and rape cases are false.
He thinks unpaid labour does not exist, and most men in the comments are saying, “I can get a maid for 10k a month for that labour,” basically exploiting underpaid women.
He denies systemic inequality, unpaid labour, gender gaps, and says there is no such thing as the pink tax.
He claims laws for women against v\*o\*ence or threats are special privileges and acts as if women are exploiting them, and is actively trying to stop them.
He hates women even when women are asking for basic respect from their mothers or families to stand up for them.
He is against news sources like the BBC because, to him, they are biased against men whenever crimes against women with evidence are reported.
He even tried to debunk a case where a 19-year-old was forcibly married and burned to de@th, claiming it was just a minor accident involving a hot iron just suddenly having flames.
He uses AI to make fake stories to fantasise about women suffering and uses it to form every argument even in his posts.
I have not seen him defend rape, oh wait……..

MSF staff abused Sudanese refugees in sex-for-food scandal.
Medical charity Doctors Without Borders (MSF) admits some staff members and external contractors were the subjects of 59 allegations of misconduct, including sexual harassment, exploitation and abuse, in relation to Sudanese refugees who had fled the civil war in search of safety.
Young girls were exploited in some cases, and often food or jobs were offered in exchange for sex, but an MSF investigation could not verify all 59 allegations.
The offences were committed in eastern Chad and date back to 2024 - about a year into Sudan's still-raging civil war.
MSF says it has sacked 18 culprits but told the AP news agency it was unable to identify some of the other alleged perpetrators.
The aid organisation also found patterns of exploitation that might amount to "sexual trafficking", its own internal report suggested in July.
Some of the victims reportedly chose not to speak out about the abuse because they feared access to vital aid would be withheld in retaliation. Those who did report the abuse sometimes received no reply or support, MSF has admitted in its own report, while official complaints procedures were mostly ineffective.
"This misconduct represents a serious breach of MSF's values and responsibilities, and we deeply regret the harm caused," MSF said in response to reporters at AP who first investigated the misconduct.
Sudan plunged into civil war three years ago following a vicious power struggle between its army and a powerful paramilitary group, the Rapid Support Forces (RSF).
It is now widely recognised as the world's worst humanitarian crisis - more than 11 million people have been forced from their homes, and 28 million face acute hunger.
Although there is no definitive death toll, the dead are thought to number at least 150,000 and could be as high as 400,000.
Mass sexual violence has been widely documented as a weapon of war in this conflict - men, women and children have been targeted including babies as young as a year old.
Humanitarian workers in multiple countries around the world have been accused of sexual exploitation in recent years, despite promises to end such abuses.
Correction 16 June: This story has been amended to reflect the fact that while 59 allegations of misconduct had been made, this did not amount to accusations of sexual abuse of "at least 59 Sudanese refugees" as the previous version had stated.

Girl, 3, Dies After R*pe By Guest worker Near Chennai.Why are cases of Minors SAing other minors increasing?
[TW⚠️: Rape, SA]
CHENNAI: A three-year-old girl died after she was sexually assaulted by a 19-year-old guest worker at Gummidipoondi in Tiruvallur district on Monday. Police arrested the suspect, identified as Bipin Manjhi from Bihar.
The incident sparked protests outside the SIPCOT police station, with residents demanding stringent action against all those involved in the crime. Some protesters alleged that more than one person may have been involved and called for a thorough investigation into the incident.
According to police, the girl's parents work at a steel company in the SIPCOT industrial estate. The suspect was employed at the same firm along with the girl's father and lived in their neighbourhood.
On Sunday night, the girl was playing with other children in a street at Pudupettai near Gummidipoondi while her parents were at home.
The suspect took her to a nearby shop on the pretext of buying her snacks and assaulted her at a secluded spot around 8 pm. He abandoned the child in a bush and fled the scene.
A woman found the child and raised an alarm, following which residents gathered at the spot. The suspect tried to flee but was caught by the public.
The SIPCOT police, who reached the spot, arrested him.
The girl was rescued and admitted to the government hospital at Kottakarai before being shifted to the Stanley Government Hospital in Chennai. She succumbed to her injuries on Monday morning.
Police personnel held talks with the protesters and assured them that a detailed investigation was under way. They informed residents that one suspect had been arrested and that further inquiries were being conducted to ascertain all aspects of the case.
Residents also expressed concerns about the safety of children living in worker settlements, saying that many parents leave for work early in the morning and return only in the evening. They urged policemen to strengthen security measures in the area.
(The victim's identity has not been revealed to protect her privacy as per Supreme court directives on cases related to sexual assault)
Not everyone needs to have their opinion on feminism on the internet and spew sexism while using progressive language 🤡.
I really do hate the term aurat hi aurat Ki dushman hoti hai because it undermines the male privilege and the system made by men, so it can benefit from them while oppressing women.
And if aurat hi aurat Ki dushman hoti hai to mard ka kya? who rape and abuse women and girls the most, and most crimes are committed by them, from rape to paedophila and abuse, not to mention trafficking minors.
Now it's a fact that women are conditioned since birth like men, with patriarchal values, and these thoughts are passed down generation to generation by women to other women just like men.
Also, someone tell her who made religion and Brahmanical patriarchy 😭🌚**.**
Also, this shows how much we put women on a pedestal when they are just women conditioned as well and expected to do better be moral, righteous all the time, and dare if she makes a mistake it's all hell, but men can do wrong all the time, and they will be excused or forgiven because well men will be men right?

Drunk Delhi cop enters Gurgaon society, ass*ults woman and threatens to r*pe her sister
9 arrested, minor apprehended in Karnataka gang r*pe case after ass*ult videos surface.

Davanagere Superintendent of Police HT Shekar said six men have been identified as the principal accused in the sexual assault case.

Nine people were arrested, and a minor was apprehended in connection with the alleged gang rape of a woman at a farmhouse in a village in Karnataka’s Davanagere district, the police said Tuesday.
According to investigators, the woman was sexually assaulted on June 3, but the crime came to light only after the accused allegedly circulated videos of the assault on social media platforms. After the clips were widely shared in nearby villages, the survivor approached the jurisdictional police station on June 8 and lodged a complaint against the nine men and the minor who live in the same village.
H T Shekar, Superintendent of Police, Davanagere, said six men have been identified as the principal accused, including those who allegedly sexually assaulted the woman, those who were present and abetted the crime, and individuals who recorded videos of the incident.
“The role of each accused is being examined. A detailed investigation is underway, and further legal action will be taken based on the findings,” Shekar said.
Preliminary investigation revealed that the woman had left her home following a dispute with her husband, who she alleged frequently returned home intoxicated. While she was standing near a shop, a minor allegedly offered her a ride on his motorcycle.
The police said the woman was allegedly given a soft drink, after which she felt unwell. She was then taken to a farmhouse, where multiple persons allegedly sexually assaulted her.
Following the complaint, the police traced and detained all those named by the woman. After questioning, the accused were formally arrested by the police.
A case has been registered under the relevant provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, and further investigation is underway.
Are we honest about gender roles, and the expectations placed on women in dating and marriage?
I feel like most people forget we still live in a patriarchal misogynistic society, and women are reminded of it every time.
There are men just like the Rs 370 biryani guy who openly showed this disturbing entitlement mindset, as I paid for biryani so I deserve to take her to a hotel room and force her to have sex with me.
That mentality is gross, scary, and predatory. Consent is not a transaction. It is not something you earn by paying for a meal.
But then the conversation suddenly shifts to women not paying or splitting bills, which misses the actual issue.
Even when women pay 50/50 or even when they don’t pay at all or pay the full bill that doesn’t justify anything. The same entitlement still exists in many men.
The problem is not who pays it’s the mindset that paying gives access to do whatever they want with her.
Whether it’s a boyfriend or a husband, that thinking is still wrong. Being in a relationship does not mean ownership. Marital rape exists, which shows how deep this issue goes.
I mean we saw the outrage on a series on marital rape and to them marriage means consent or being in a relationship.
And are we really being honest about gender roles and performing femininity?
It’s okay to have standards, but let’s not act like they are equal or fair when they clearly aren’t. Women are constantly expected to perform femininity just to be acceptable.
Many women do their own shaving or makeup for themselves, but this is still shaped by patriarchal standards and unrealistic beauty standards pushed on us since childhood.
And I’ve literally seen men get disgusted over something as normal as a bit of arm hair, like it’s something unnatural or unacceptable when they themselves are covered in hair.
My friend even went through something like this she was okay with splitting like always only a few times he insisted on paying full, she said she was not okay with performing gender traditional roles and sharing household chores and the guy still tried to coerce her into physical stuff.
Then he called her gross just because she had a little grown body hair. That is childish as well. She broke up with him after that and never looked back.
Women who don’t fit beauty standards are judged way harsher, especially during dating or arranged marriage processes. If a woman is not attractive enough or doesn’t fit society’s idea of beauty, she gets treated as if she is less valuable or less worthy of respect.
Again, as a girl myself, financial independence is extremely important. I don’t support the idea of women being forced into being housewives because anything could go wrong.
If someone chooses that life when she is pregnant that is different and even pregnancy and postpartum periods show another layer of inequality, where women risk losing jobs, opportunities, and career stability or being on a break.
An articles reads about unpaid work done by women even when they have a job.
The answer is visible in the data. India’s Time Use Survey shows women aged 15 to 59 spend more than seven hours each day on unpaid domestic and caregiving tasks. Men spend less than three. In urban India, the ratio is similar. On average, women do 2.6 times more unpaid care work than men — even when both are employed.
Again are we being honest about these things and especially when it comes to gender roles?
