In India, nearly 90 women are raped daily, a statistic that activists say only scratches the surface. The brutal rape and murder of young doctor Abhaya in Kolkata has sparked widespread protests, highlighting a culture of sexual violence and systemic failures among authorities. Activists like Jhil and Yogita Bhayana are calling for change, emphasizing the urgent need for societal reform and better protection for women. Despite previous reforms following high-profile cases like ‘Nirbhaya’, sexual violence remains pervasive, with many cases going unreported due to fear and shame.
