In this episode of Dispatches from Manipur, Greeshma Kuthar speaks to Kimneijou, Kimneineng and Kimmoui (women leaders from the Kuki-Zo community) about the various incidents of gendered violence that happened after the onset of the ethnic violence on May 3, that are now being revisited internationally. The women leaders discuss ethical reportage of sexual assault in the context of ethnic violence, the role of the state and the police in these cases, and how the victims are being supported. They also talk about how heightened media coverage is re-traumatizing the survivors of sexual assault. Greeshma also spoke with Luikang Diana , the joint secretary of Senapati District Women's Association - a Naga organisation - during a rally organised in Senapati town condemning the mob violence and sexual assault of Kuki-Zo women at B Phainom.
