She can engage private advocate by filing u/s 301(2) CrPC application, an advocate can assist her case. There are so many advocates are there to support to economically backward class ,hence search near by advocates and moreover there is no mandatory for victim to hire private counsel's, state would take care of it.

Dear Madam, Victim need not hire any Advocate. It is treated as State case and public prosecutor will look after your case. Your presence before the Court is not necessary on each and every hearing date. Your presence to give evidence is necessary only once.
