It’s heartbreaking to witness yet another instance where society has failed its women, as seen in the case of Dr. Mondita Debas. We failed her, and in doing so, we failed every woman in this country. While protests have erupted across India demanding justice, I can’t shake the feeling that our efforts might not be enough. The government, which can call in army doctors to keep hospitals running, seems incapable of delivering the justice we so desperately need. Should we also rely on the army to handle the rapist? Even if one has been caught, what good does it do if the system allows for delays, and lawyers are already preparing to defend him? We’ve seen this happen before, during Nirbhaya's case, where justice took years, but I deeply respect her parents for fighting until the end.
In all of this, it’s not the perpetrators who lose something; it’s us, the women. We say that it could have been anyone in Dr. Debas’ place, yet every ten minutes, somewhere, another woman is blamed for her own assault. This is our reality. The difference is just in the degree of vulgarity and violence—because who among us hasn’t been touched by this horror in some way?
