13‑yr‑old sold, raped by 30 men in 5 days - is minor trafficking getting attention?

[Bhavana]

A 13‑year‑old girl was allegedly raped by more than 30 men over five days in Rajasthan's Sri Ganganagar. The FIR says her nightmare began after she went missing from home and was sold to a hotel owner by a rickshaw puller. Several other hotel operators are also accused of being involved in her exploitation, and there are claims that the crime was tried to be covered up. A number of hotel owners and managers have been arrested. The girl says she was forced to drink alcohol whenever she was in pain from the repeated assaults.

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.

Man Stabs Ujjain Student 14 Times In 47 Seconds For Rejecting His Advances.

Ujjain: A 19‑year‑old college student was attacked on a road in Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh. The attacker stabbed her 14 times in 47 seconds after she rejected his marriage proposal. He was arrested within three hours. He tried to flee and fractured his leg jumping over a wall.

In India, a woman's "no" can become her death sentence. A simple rejection has led to acid attacks, stalking, horrific violence, and murder time after time.

Don't you feel that society's empathy for such cases is dwindling? It's as if people have started accepting crimes against women as normal. Where's the outrage?

Thirty men thought it was fine to rape a 13‑year‑old because they treated her like a sex worker. How can anyone still support sex work? It makes me furious to see the industry thriving while exploiting young girls. I sometimes just want to blow everything up.
