The hours-long gang-rape and near-fatal beating of a 23-year-old student on a bus in New Delhi has triggered outrage and anger across India. People in the country are demanding action from authorities who have long ignored persistent violence and harassment against women.
Groups of student activists on Wednesday protested against sexual harassment that women face while using public transport. Throughout the day demonstrations clogged the streets in front of New Delhi’s police headquarters, near Parliament and outside a major university.
