DCW for nursery admission of child rape victims under EWS

Delhi Commission for Women (DCW) chairperson Swati Maliwal today asked the Delhi government to create a uniform policy so as to ensure that child rape victims are admitted in nursery under economically weaker section (EWS) category.
In a letter to Education Minister Manish Sisodia, Maliwal also proposed that the four minor girls who have became victims of rape in the past two-and-a-half months and belong to poor families should be given admission under the EWS quota in the nursery admissions of 2016-17.
"It is recommended that the Delhi Government creates a uniform policy to ensure a special quota for child rape victims to be admitted in nursery under EWS category," she said in her letter.

Maliwal said Delhi, in the recent past, has witnessed extremely brutal rape of minor girls as she referred to the case of a four-year-old girl raped in northwest Delhi's Keshav Puram, the two incidents in which a two-and-a-half-year-old girl was raped in West Delhi's Nangloi area and a five-year-old raped by three men in East Delhi's Anand Vihar.
Also, she mentioned the recent rape of a seven-year-old girl in the Neb Sarai area, who is recuperating from a surgery in AIIMS. All these victims, she said, belong to poor families.
"These children are the victims of utmost cruelty and are in urgent need of support from the Delhi Government. I sincerely hope that the Education Department will immediately act upon the recommendations and facilitate these admissions," she said.
