Although India has robust anti-trafficking and anti-child sexual abuse laws, the lack of proper implementation means it goes on with impunity.

It is shameful that in today's world too, women are abused and even killed for giving birth to a girl, and the infant's life is also of no value.

Bhakshak is yet another film that will have filmmakers feeling good about themselves for making a ‘woman centric film’, while normalising sexual abuse.

In this day and age, is it still true that a woman or girl who doesn't have a male protector is just a prey for predators (Bhakshak)? What's the role of a government, then? What is it doing to protect our little girls? 

More women are now going to college, but there's still the obstacle of true financial independence to be conquered in a patriarchal society like ours.
