I agree. Women everywhere are victims of violence. In Gujarat most recently this has taken the shape of communal violence, but targeting particularly women in the most inhuman and demeaning ways. In Bihar the caste wars constantly target women through direct and indirect violence. People of that state are daily living through such systemic gender violence, where the state is at best a mute spectator, and at worst an active participant. Few political groups speak about the systemic gender violence in Bihar. The land struggle in Bodh Gaya had highlighted such issues.
