Justice in India often walks a slow, weary path, and for women, this journey is even more arduous. It feels like justice isn’t blindfolded but shackled by layers of bureaucracy, societal biases, and an overburdened system.
When a woman seeks justice, it’s not just the courtroom she enters—it’s a labyrinth of scrutiny. Every step is weighed down by whispered questions: “What was she wearing?” “Why was she out late?” And while she wrestles to prove her pain, the perpetrators often walk freely, shielded by loopholes or sheer indifference.
Imagine justice as a candle in the dark. For women, that flame flickers faintly, its light struggling to reach through the smog of patriarchy. Cases linger for years, each adjournment eroding hope. The scars of violence heal faster than the system acts.
But justice delayed isn’t just justice denied—it’s resilience tested. Every woman who dares to stand her ground becomes a symbol of quiet defiance. She is not just waiting for justice; she’s demanding a reawakening, a world where the scales aren’t tipped against her before the trial begins.
This isn’t just a story of delayed justice—it’s the story of resilience in a world that must change. Will we let the candle burn out, or will we help it blaze brighter for every woman who dares to hope?
