The rape victim that India forgot...

Not far away from where hundreds marched and held candle-lit vigils in memory of a medical student who died after a brutal gang-rape in the capital New Delhi exactly a year ago, the 12-year-old lay in a room, forced to come to terms with her wounds and plight virtually alone.

Gang-raped some sixteeen months ago and having undergone 19 reconstructive surgeries, there has been little or no outpouring of sympathy and public support for her.

"These sixteen months have been the worst in in life. I am dying every single day. My life has been ruined, body violated. The pain is unbearable, but I am yet to get justice," she says.

"Will you help me to get justice?" she asks the correspondent.

While last December's Delhi gang-rape victim consumed the nation bringing along with it changes in law to deal with sexual abuse and aroused people's conscience, this minor girl has received no attention from anyone. She was raped four months before the Delhi incident.

Her case is yet to be tried in court. Full story...
