Despite being blamed and stigmatized by some in her community in western Nepal after reporting her rape, 17 year old Pooja Bohara says she is not giving up her fight for justice. Society and some family members blame me. My uncle even suggested that I should be placed in a heap of straw and burnt to death, but my father was for justice, said Bohara, sitting in a rehabilitation centre in Kathmandu. It is not our fault that we are raped. Victims should come out and tell their story to the courts and seek justice.
