As a lawyer, you will be familiar with cases of men being falsely accused of rape by women. Sadly, this is an overlooked issue.

How severe is the problem of false rape accusations against men by women? Let’s look at some statistics according to NCRB’s yearly crime reports:

In 2018- 24,716 cases were found to be false

In 2019- 32,497 cases were reported to be false

In 2020- 26,449 cases were reported to be false

In 2021- 32,345 cases were found to be false

How does a false accusation impact the lives of the innocent men who are falsely accused?

“Innocent unless proven guilty” does not apply where a man has been falsely accused of rape, because just the accusation itself can completely derail his life.

Important questions that need to be asked are- What are the changes that lawmakers need to make to address the issue? What is the role of lawyers in such a situation? How can a lawyer protect their client who has been wrongly accused?

To find out the answers, join us at LawSikho Dialogue's short film on “Screening of India’s Sons”, a documentary directed by our guest speaker Deepika Narayan Bhardwaj (Documentary Filmmaker, Independent Journalist). Our speaker and the host Ramanuj Mukherjee (CEO, LawSikho) will discuss the duty of the legal fraternity towards the victims of such false accusations. The film received standing ovations at its screenings in Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, and other cities.
