BALPREET was raped. As she
walked home from school one day she was
overpowered by four young men and made unconscious.
Two days later she recovered consciousness to
find herself imprisoned in an unoccupied house.
She escaped through a broken window and made her
way home, and her family decided to keep quite
about the rape. About three months later she
discovered that she was pregnant. To escape the
"shame of it" she was packed off to
Delhi, where she came into contact with a social
worker. She is now at a home for distressed
women, where she’s being
‘rehabilitated’. Balpreet was 14 when
this happened.
