Petition: Stop the Rape of Two Sisters in India (Amnesty International)

This petition literally takes less than a minute to complete.

From Amnesty International: “An unelected, all-male village council has ordered 23-year-old Meenakshi Kumari and her 15-year-old sister to be raped and paraded naked as punishment for their brother’s elopement with a married woman from a dominant caste. Meenakshi has since filed a petition to India’s Supreme Court seeking protection for her family but she and her sister are still at urgent risk.

“Please act now to ensure the safety of Meenakshi and her family as well as a swift, full and impartial investigation into the horrific rape order made by the village council.”
