Three days after a Bahujan Samaj Party leader, his son and aides attacked the office and staff of AALI -- Association For Advocacy and Legal Initiatives -- the state commission for women has taken note of the incident.” How many times have your eyes just slid over this kind of routine line -- a line that renders a terrible incident casual?

This is the incident. A young woman of 19 who says she has been facing sexual molestation from her brother for eight years and has had no help despite appealing to elders in the family, approaches the women’s organisation, AALI, for help. They help her take the necessary legal steps and provide her with shelter.
