In April 2013, 5-year-old Gudiya was gangraped and left to die. At a nascent age, Gudiya had to undergo five corrective surgeries in a year's time. Though the accused were apprehended a week later from Bihar, it took Gudiya and her family seven years to get justice. Here is how Bachpan Bachao Andolan (BBA), a part of the Satyarthi Movement, provided the mental, medical and legal support needed to ensure justice delivery in Gudiya's case. After 7 years, in January 2020, the two men were convicted, and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) were established for such cases.
