Right now, the whole country is shaken up because of the horrific rape cases in Kathua and Unnao, and everyone is fighting for justice. Actually, not everyone, as we found out in the last week.

An 8-year-old girl was raped and then brutally murdered, and then there are still people defending the rapists. The thought of people defending criminals like that is almost as disturbing as the crime itself. I hate to use clichés but, if you're not angry, then you're not paying attention.

Amidst this horrific situation, one voice that is fighting hard to stay strong is that of Deepika Singh Rajawat. She is the lawyer representing the Kathua rape victim's family bring their innocent daughter to justice and has also become an internet sensation with her hellbent attitude in fighting for what's right.

But, even with all the support she's getting online, it's so shameful that there are still people out there who are against her. She was quoted by ANI saying, “Today, I don't know, I am not in my senses. I can be raped, I can be killed and maybe they won't allow me to practice in court. They (have) isolated me, I don't know how I can survive.”

But, even with all that, she's no way backing down. He said, “I am feeling bad and it's really unfortunate. You can well imagine my plight. But, I will stand for justice and we would seek justice for the eight-year-old girl.”

A picture of her looking fierce as ever leaving the Supreme Court is going viral because it perfectly captures just how resilient she is.

It was shared on Twitter by Ashwaq Masoodi with a caption that says it all.

With so many incidents involving harassment against women, this picture perfectly captures and shows the contrast with a woman with so much power.

She's being called a hero on Twitter and rightly so.

Can't stop being amazed at the courage shown by Deepika Singh Rajawat. She's a hero if there ever was one. https://t.co/b39MDWELZx

She has all the sensible people on her side, and that's what matters.

Advocate Deepika Singh Rajawat is a lone warrior, who is pursuing the case of Asifa Bano, despite facing threats, & social boycott. She has the courage to go against the biased & appalling approach & policies of Jammu Bar Association. We stand by the brave lady!

Just see the injustice she has to face while fighting for justice.
