In the outpouring of public anger after the gang-rape and death of a young woman in Delhi, the focus for change has been on better law enforcement and safer public spaces. But what about sexual abuse inside the home within what was once a circle of trust? According to one survey, one in every five men have admitted to forcing their partners to have sex with them and yet, Indian law does not recognise marital rape. On We The People, we bring you the harrowing stories of women who have had to fight sexual violence, not on the street but in their own home, in our special campaign series – Every Woman's Battle.
