Almost four months after her ordeal at the ICU of the Government Medical College Hospital in Kozhikode, where she was sexually assaulted by an attender, Farsana (name changed) is still fighting for justice.
For the outside world, her assaulter has been arrested and dismissed from service. The five hospital employees who allegedly harassed her to retract her statement continue to be under suspension, and the police have submitted a chargesheet.
But Farsana explains how she had to battle all by herself to see progress in the case. “They won’t pay us any attention unless we keep the issue live. I can’t go to the media every time I feel that the authorities are apathetic towards my case,” Farsana told The Hindu.
