In 2022, Prerna* triumphed in a decade-long battle against the physical, mental, and emotional trauma inflicted by her father when he was convicted of raping her on multiple occasions. He was punished with imprisonment for life, and the court aimed to provide restorative and compensatory justice to Prerna by granting her $6,000 as compensation for the physical and mental trauma she endured. Following this order, an interim compensation of $600 was deposited into her account. One and a half years later, Prerna had yet to receive the remaining compensation owed to her. The legal team of the Delhi Justice Hub was engaged to help Prerana recover the remaining amount so that she could build a brighter future for herself and her family. After tireless efforts which included submitting all relevant documents and maintaining constant communication with the District Legal Services Authority, the remaining amount was finally disbursed to Prerna’s account. While there is no monetary amount that will compensate Prerana for the harm she suffered, the economic security obtained will enable Prerana to focus on her healing journey.
