“Enjoy the girl and have fun”. With this single sickening sentence, the head of a khap panchayat ordered men to gang rape a girl whose only crime was falling in love. Lets make this a turning point in the wave of violence making West Bengal the gang rape capital of India. The brutal attack was ordered when a village council hit the victim with a fine she could not afford. Her punishment was announced as she knelt, bound and terrified, at the feet of her attackers. Twelve men from the village, men she called kaka and dada, wasted no time in carrying out the sentence. CM Mamata Banerjee has removed the police boss who failed to arrest the rapists, but alone, it is not enough. In 24 hours Banerjee will have the countrys media all around her as she opens the Kolkata Book Fair. Lets create a massive public call for a comprehensive policy to protect women, and help introduce a Womanifesto to end the violence.
