An activist has filed a petition in the Nagpur 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 doctors inserting fingers into a woman’s vagina to determine her sexual history, has been widely criticized for being invasive, unscientific, and traumatic for survivors of sexual assault. The activist is urging MUHS and the government to adhere to the Supreme Court’s guidelines that prohibit the use of the two-finger test in cases of sexual assault. The petition highlights the need for medical professionals to use more modern and less invasive methods to gather evidence in cases of sexual violence. The High Court has yet to issue a response to the petition, but the activist is hopeful that the authorities will take the necessary steps to ensure that survivors of sexual assault are treated with dignity and respect. This move comes as part of a broader effort to improve the handling of sexual assault cases in India and to provide better support and justice for survivors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
