An activist in Nagpur has filed a petition in the High Court seeking a response from the Maharashtra University of Health Sciences (MUHS) and the state government regarding the implementation of Supreme Court guidelines on discontinuing the two-finger test. The two-finger test, which involves inserting fingers into a woman’s vagina to check for vaginal laxity, has been widely criticized for being unscientific and traumatic for survivors of sexual assault. The activist has urged the authorities to adhere to the Supreme Court’s directives to stop the use of this outdated and invasive practice. The petition highlights the importance of respecting the dignity and rights of survivors of sexual violence and calls for the adoption of more victim-centered and trauma-informed approaches. This move comes in the wake of increasing awareness and advocacy around the need to reform forensic practices in cases of sexual violence. Stay tuned for updates on this important legal development as the case unfolds.
