A deeply distressing video showing the public humiliation and harassment of two women in Manipur by a group of men has sparked outrage and condemnation on social media. Actress and women’s rights activist, Somy Ali, who is the founder of the US-based NGO “No More Tears,” which supports victims of domestic violence and rape, has expressed her anger and anguish over the appalling incident.
In a passionate statement, Somy Ali addresses the recurring nature of such crimes and the urgent need for effective measures to halt them. “Why am I not surprised, but infuriated beyond any other emotion. It is the same incident over and over again. How many more rapes do we have to learn about before these crimes come to a complete halt?!” she exclaims. The actress emphasizes that the issue of sexual violence against women is not limited to Manipur but a universal concern that demands immediate attention.
Reflecting on the root causes of such atrocities, Somy Ali points to corruption and bribery as significant factors contributing to the perpetuation of these heinous crimes. She insists that unless a country’s foundation and law enforcement are built on ethical principles, predators will continue to act with impunity, causing irreparable trauma to the victims. Drawing from her own experience as a former rape survivor, Somy Ali empathizes with the women in the video, whose dignity and honor have been gravely violated.
The video, which surfaced in May, has only now gained widespread attention due to its viral spread on social media. Somy Ali expresses her frustration with the delayed response, stating, “So, for two and a half months, no one did or said anything about this incident. And I can guarantee you that this will happen again.” She calls for ethical politicians and law enforcement personnel with values to effectively address such crimes and protect vulnerable individuals.
In a poignant plea, Somy Ali criticizes the lack of justice for rape victims and the emotional and physical trauma they endure while seeking redress. She believes that societies must take collective responsibility and create a safe environment where victims can speak their truth without fear of reprisal.
The distressing video from Manipur has brought to the fore the urgent need for societal change, ethical leadership, and a commitment to end sexual violence against women. Somy Ali’s words serve as a powerful reminder that no society can thrive until it addresses and eradicates such heinous crimes.
