RAPE AND MURDER OF DALIT WOMAN HIGHLIGHTS PERSISTENCE OF CASTE, GENDER-BASED VIOLENCE

A law student was found dead in her house the 28 of April. The autopsy found 38 wounds in the body, signs of rape and that her intestines had been partially removed. Three man had been retained for being suspected. 
The police is accused by Amnesty International India because of their failures acting in front of violence cases against woman.
There were many other complains about this situation, as it wasn’t the first time the family was involved in harassing and threatening problems and ignored by the police. 
"Dalit women face multiple levels of discrimination from the community and often from the police. The Kerala government must hold the police accountable for any inaction on their part,” said Rekha Raj."

It seems unbelievable that there is still sexual discrimination in some countries, because nowadays in India man are still above women. This news reflects what it means to be ignored, because it is said that the family have had some problems before with the neighbours, and others like threatening. 
It is so sad to think about the difference of the conception of the woman in each part of the world. Humans are equal, not for being a male or a female you are better or worst, this isn’t the point. The best way to pass trough this may be starting to look women with some other eyes, not like they are the ones who have to stay at home just cleaning but being good doctors, policewomen and important businesswomen.

Vocabulary: wounds, submit, harass, threat
