Birangana Renu Khatun O Garhosthya Hinsa by Dr. Partha Chattopadhyay [Hardcover]

Renu Khatun is a 24-year-old housewife from a village. Unlike most other brides, she didn’t want to serve her in-laws all day, attend to her husband at night, and contribute to the population by bearing many children. Instead, she enrolled in a nursing course with the dream of serving the ailing. For this "unforgivable" crime, her right wrist was cut off while she was asleep. This severed-handed Renu has now become a symbol of a thousand arms. She is an inspiration to millions of women around the world who suffer from domestic violence and abuse. Raising her prosthetic hand, she now offers courage to those stripped of dignity, saying: "I am with you."
