An HIV positive woman in Hasnabad area of North 24 Paraganas district has been allegedly assaulted and driven out of her village by locals. The woman (27) is currently admitted at the Barasat District Hospital with severe injuries to her head. She was being ostracised for about eight months ever since the villagers came to know that she is suffering from AIDS in November last year.
The incident took place last Friday in Benagram village in Hasnabad police station area when she went to the office of South 24 Paraganas Network for People Living with HIV/AIDS, an NGO that works for the people with HIV, to submit a written complaint to them. When she returned home late in the evening a section of the villagers demanded that she had to leave the village as “AIDS is contagious” and others will get infected.
“Following an argument the villagers brutally assaulted her and tried to strangle her. She was also hit on the head,” vice-president of the organisation Shukla Chakroborty told The Hindu on Tuesday. The woman somehow managed to escape the violent mob and took shelter in her brother’s house in another part of the village from where she was taken to hospital at around 10 pm. A day after the assault a team from the South 24 Paraganas Network for People Living with HIV/AIDS visited the village and tried to convince the locals that AIDS was not “contagious.”
