Attorney General KK Venugopal on Wednesday told the Supreme Court that judges need to place themselves in the sexual violence survivors' shoes while conceptualizing their response to sexual offences as if the crime was committed upon a member of their own family.

Venugopal said that there has never been a female chief justice of India and Supreme Court of India has at present only two women judges as against a sanctioned strength of 34 judges and the figure is consistently low across the higher judiciary.
