00:10This woman thinks it's unfair and he should be freed.

00:13This is the story of two women.

00:15That's Barkha Trehan, known publicly as the president of an organization called Purush

00:19Ayog, which describes itself as addressing issues facing men and contesting what it views

00:24as misuse of gender-based laws.

00:26Trehan has argued in the past that laws such as POCSO are frequently misused and are often

00:30politically motivated.

00:32In Sanger's case, Trehan argues that former BJP MLA had already suffered inner fears in

00:36custody.

00:39Given the conviction and the history of intimidation in the case, public support for Sanger triggered

00:44widespread confusion and anger online, with many questioning how a convicted rapist could

00:48still find offenders.

00:50But then there's Yogita Bhayana, who heads people against rape in India.

00:54Her organization has been instrumental in ensuring the Unao rape survivor doesn't have to fight

00:58alone.

01:12of kidnapping and raping her in the Uttar Pradesh's Unao district.
