I am Seema (fictitious name) aged 17 years. I have studied till 10th standard. There are four people in the house. Mom and Dad used to go out of the village to work as laborers. Now they do not go and work as laborers in the village itself.
In 2022, I talked to a boy through Instagram, then he coaxed me and called me and took me out of the house along with two other people from the village. They took me to Delhi and raped me. As soon as the organization (Grameen Swalamban Samiti) came to know about my help, they informed the police and brought me home. The accused were caught, one has been sentenced to life imprisonment, two have been released and the case is still going on. Talks about compensation are going on from the District Legal Services Authority, but it has not been received yet.
After that incident, my family was completely devastated. The organization supported me a lot and gave dry ration to my family. They helped us in getting ration by going to PDS (government ration shop).
My case was not getting heard quickly. The organization went to the District Legal and got the hearing done. They explained to my parents that there is no fault of the girl in this incident, we will get the accused punished, now do not taunt the girl in any way. After that I got support from my parents, they never taunted me.
After the incident, people from the neighbouring village sometimes taunt me. I told this in the organization, the organization helped me to free myself from mental stress and gave me training in the centre. Now I am forgetting the incident. Now I want the organization to help me in teaching me beauty parlour work so that I can earn money myself and not depend on anyone else.
