#JusticeForKeralaGirls: Most literate state becomes unsafe for women

Kerala which is hailed as a ‘model state’ and the ‘most literate state’ is not just emerging as a hot bed of Islamic jihad but also becoming unsafe for women to live.

According to reports, crimes against women in the Communist ruled state has soared high. According the Kerala Police’s official website, 886 incidents of rape and 1437 incidents of molestations have been registered till May for this year.

Recently, a worker of the Communist party repeatedly sexually abused a six year old girl for three years before raping and killing her last week. The body of the minor girl was found hanging in a room at her parents’ quarters.

Peerumade MLA Vazhoor Soman requested the cops to not conduct an autopsy of the girl’s body. The cops, however, went ahead and conducted the post-mortem. The report revealed that she was sexually abused and murdered.

The latest rape has sent shock waves across the state despite the media maintaining stoic silence over the matter.

In light of this, social media saw the hashtag #JusticeForKeralaGirls trend nationwide with opposition political parties especially the BJP blaming the ruling Communist government of Pinarayi Vijayan for the pathetic state of affairs.
