Women in Kolkata and several other parts of Bengal will hit the streets around midnight today to protest against the horrific rape and murder of a 31-year-old doctor at Kolkata's RG Kar Medical College and Hospital. The incident has shaken the country and triggered nationwide protests. At demonstrations in medical colleges and hospitals across the country, doctors have demanded security on duty.
The protest, which will begin at 11.55 tonight, has been described as, "For women's independence on the midnight of independence". Posters sharing locations of the protest are being shared on social media, with new spots being added as more and more people across the state suburbs join it. In fact, the protest, which has been named, "Women, reclaim the night", is also being staged in several other cities. In Delhi, a gathering has been planned outside Gate No. 2 of AIIMS.
Earlier, 'reclaim the night' protests were organised in various parts of the country in the aftermath of the 2012 gang-rape and murder in Delhi.
