    What's the story

    The entire country was put to shame on learning the horror unleashed on rape victims of Kathua and Unnao.

    While the outrage is appreciable, a few took initiative and started a crowdfunding drive on CrowdNewsing to help families.

    Launched on Friday, the campaign has raised more than Rs. 25 lakh already, which will be equally distributed among the families and aid lawyers representing victims.

    Former JNUSU VP Shehla Rashid, an activist behind the campaign, said they decided to start it after seeing lawyers obstructing filing of chargesheet.

    In the first phase, the campaign raised Rs. 10 lakh for the eight-year-old Kathua victim, and then another Rs. 10 lakh for the Unnao victim.
