17-year-old Rekha was rescued from Bihar in December 2020, and after 4 long years, Rekha received justice. On July 20, in a sessions Court in Muzaffarpur, a judge convicted 3 people involved in exploiting Rekha. The official conviction will be announced on July 30th.
Our team continues to advocate for survivors, oppose bails, and stand by survivors as they testify boldly in court; together, we will fight for justice for the crimes these young girls have endured.
Update:
On July 31st the judge passed the a sentence and Rekha's two female offenders received a 20 year prison sentence each! This is Freedom Firm's strongest conviction to date! The women were fined 8,000 rupees (~$96) and the government granted Rekha 500,000 rupees (~$5,900). Rekha is overjoyed at this news! We celebrate this victory with Rekha and her family, and our team continues to fight for justice for each of our survivors.
