Abstract
Provided that a rapist is convicted, the aftermath of the rape itself can be potentially incapacitating on the victim. While the criminal justice system’s primary focus lies on convicting and punishing the rapist, victims are too often ignored. Financial compensation appears to be the primary outcome for many victims, with very few being able to access mental health or other counselling services. This paper seeks to understand rape in the Indian context, as well as the various medical, psychological and social interventions that are put in place to ensure the wellbeing of rape victims. We summarize literature on the impact of rape on victims and use past research on effective treatment strategies to adopt an evidence-based approach to providing suggestions for their treatment and rehabilitation
