Story summary

In Delhi, a series of recent rapes, including alleged gang-rapes and murders of young women, have sparked widespread protests on university campuses and beyond. Women are demanding safer public spaces and justice from the government. Protesters chanted slogans like “We want justice” and carried posters that read, “Girls don’t need curfews, rapists need consequences.” The Supreme Court highlighted a systemic failure in handling these cases, drawing parallels to the infamous 2012 Nirbhaya case. Activist Aditi Subramanian joined protests calling for women’s safety without imposing additional restrictions or surveillance on them.
