A school in Rajasthan, faces backlash for allegedly preventing a teen gang-rape survivor from taking her exams, claiming she'd "spoil the atmosphere." The survivor, who studied at home due to trauma, was denied her admit card in March. The Child Welfare Commission intervened, ensuring she could sit for missed exams. This incident highlights India's challenges in supporting sexual assault survivors. In another case, a magistrate in Rajasthan is accused of humiliating a survivor. Despite legal reforms, activists argue the government isn't doing enough to protect women. Similar incidents have occurred, indicating systemic issues persist.
