The Hindu
She thanks those who have stood by her
Even as new revelations are emerging in the case involving the alleged kidnap and assault of a woman actor, the survivor on January 10 put out a statement for the first time on her official Instagram page, expressing gratitude to those who have stood by her in the fight for justice.
Though she had issued statements earlier through the Women in Cinema Collective (WCC), this is the first time she is commenting on the case through social media.
“This has not been an easy journey. The journey from being a victim to becoming a survivor. For five years now, my name and my identity have been suppressed under the weight of the assault inflicted on me. Though I am not the one who committed the crime, there have been attempts to humiliate, silence and isolate me. But at such times, I have had some who stepped forward to keep my voice alive. Now when I hear so many voices speak up for me, I know that I am not alone in this fight for justice,” she wrote.
