Citing examples of an acid attack on a young girl in Delhi two days ago, and another woman who was chopped into pieces, she requested the government and the Supreme Court to ensure justice.
We are still in 2012, Nirbhaya's mother Asha Devi, who was out in the streets in Delhi's Dwarka demanding safety and justice for women in the national capital, told NDTV. Today is the 10th anniversary of the gruesome rape and murder of Nirbhaya, which shook the country and triggered strict new legislation dealing with crime against women.
"10 years have passed. If women were safe, everyone got justice and could get reports files easily, then we would not have stood here on the road with placards," she said when asked if things have improved in the last decade.
Citing examples of an acid attack on a young girl in Delhi two days ago, and another woman who was chopped into pieces, she requested the government and the Supreme Court to ensure justice.
She also referred to the 2012 rape and killing of a 19-year-old woman in Delhi's Chhawala area, where the rapists and killers were recently set free by the Supreme Court, and said it was an example "that women in the country are not safe, and aren't getting justice".
