History

Piyush Monga, a young graduated boy, who was deeply concerned for the increasing rape cases in the country, researched for several months regarding what can be done to eradicate the issue. As a result of which he manifested the idea and started a non-governmental organization, "Youth Against Injustice Foundation" that gave birth to a mission "Rape Mukt Bharat". Believing in the power of youth, he focused on uniting young minds through a social media platform. The mission was started on 25th May, 2019 from an Instagram page. Gradually youth across the nation supported the mission and became a part of the foundation. The YAR team filed a petition consisting of 8 demands on 16th August 2019. The main demands being death penalty for rapists after conviction and 14 Years Strict Imprisonment for Fake Rape Allegations.
