She may appear short in size, but Dr. Sunita Krishnan of Prajwala home is one of the gutsy ladies on the platform of social activism in Hyderabad and Telangana.

Unidentified persons damaged the car of social activist Sunitha Krishnan minutes after she launched her ‘ShameTheRapist’ campaign through an English TV news channel, at Hussainialam in the old city on Friday.

The car was parked outside the ‘Home’-cum-office when some miscreants hurled stones damaging the car’s back side windscreen. She lodged a complaint over the phone with the Charminar ACP Ashok Chakravarthy. The Hussainialam Additional Inspector Kiran, went to the spot and collected details, the ACP said.

Earlier, Ms. Krishnan posted on YouTube the video of five men smiling while raping two women. She stated that she received the two video clips, which were being circulated through WhatsApp, through a friend. She cut short the videos protecting identity of the two victims and posted pics of the five rapists and posted it on YouTube which went viral.

Her car was attacked minutes after she launched the ‘ShameTheRapist’ campaign through the TV news channel by posting pictures of the five rapists who were seen smiling and posing while sexually assaulting the women.

"....happy I am on right track. If goons think they can intimidate me this way - take a long walk, boss, I will report come what may I will track I will shame and I will report," she posted on her Facebook account, just minutes ago. Sunita Krishnan does not need any introduction. She is the SHe-man in the campaign against atrocities on women. She always expressed her opinions fearlessly and also acted rather boldly in pursuit of her cause.

She has founded Prajwala, a non-governmental organization that rescues, rehabilitates and reintegrates sex-trafficked victims into society. When in 1996 sex workers living in Mehboob ki Mehandi, a red light area in Hyderabad, were evacuated. Krishnan started a transition school at a vacated brothel to prevent the second generation from being trafficked.
