She says that she offers an increase in the maximum amount of money that victims can look for from her rapists to $ 75,000, which is 14 times higher than the current limit.
Sharma told the press conference that the victims are often ashamed, and many “suffer from silence”, preferring not to pursue lawsers against criminals from the stigma associated with the creation of intimate images.
She says that the proposed amendment sends a message that there are consequences for the exchange of someone's images, and the responsible will be punished.
The government is also going to give a new act to prevent and respond to sexual violence in the post-medium camps at the legislative meeting of the fall, and the Minister of after-school education Jesse Sanner said that the changes will “close the gaps” in the current framework.
