Assam is that state about which we hear any news very rarely. But a total of 1952 cases of rape were reported in Assam in 2019, out of which 88 were on minor girls below the age of 18 years.
When calculated, on average; almost five women/girls were raped each day of the year. This news has gone viral for all the reasons and safety of women in Assam has become an priority now.
