Very crucial matter .
Remember the #vengaivayal issue where fecal matter was mixed with drinking water of Dalits ? It's been more than three months and nobody was arrested after so many protests and voicing out .Over the last three months coercion of victims happened.

Two-Finger Test involves a medical practitioner inserting two fingers into the vagina of a rape survivor to determine if the hymen is broken. The test is already declared “unscientific” by the World Health Organisation (@WHO) and re-traumatises the survivors.

Do you know 𝐓𝐰𝐨-𝐅𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐫 𝐓𝐞𝐬𝐭 is banned in India?
And yet, the test continues to be practiced by medical professionals to determine whether or not a woman has been raped.

As a society, the patriarchal gender and honour of the caste community that is assigned at birth involve violence to restrict it and also against persons who do not conform to the heterosexual binary relationships. #LGBTQIA
