In Uttar Pradesh, India, Al Jazeera uncovered a troubling market where rape videos are sold for as little as Rs 20 (30 cents). These videos often feature identifiable victims and are used to blackmail them, discouraging them from reporting the crimes. Local shopkeepers, despite being aware of the issue, claim ignorance to authorities, while police officials express unfamiliarity with the existence of such videos, highlighting a significant societal and governmental failure to address sexual violence and protect women’s dignity.
