Rape victims should not be addressed as 'bechari': Meira Kumar | ummid.com
Arguing that things have hardly changed even with stringent laws post the December 16, 2012 Delhi gangrape, Lok Sabha Speaker Meira Kumar Saturday insisted that a rape victim should never be addressed in a subservient and disrespectful manner, by calling her 'bechari' (poor girl) or 'zinda laash' (live corpse).
