The 2017 gang-rape case in a north-eastern Indian village profoundly changed community attitudes following the sentencing of three men to 25 years. Initially ostracized for pursuing justice, the survivor's family faced community backlash. However, this landmark ruling catalyzed a cultural shift: the men in the village reassessed their treatment of women, and the survivor, now a 21-year-old student aiming to become a police inspector, inspires other girls to pursue education. With her ambition and the #Standwithher initiative, she advocates for gender justice, leaving a positive impact on her village.
Kiran's ambitions to become a police inspector and her resilience have inspired her community, encouraging other girls to pursue education and assert their rights.
The severe sentencing of her rapists fostered a cultural shift in her village, altering how men perceive and treat women and girls.
