I’m publishing that post one month and 7 days after my “Violence against women in the world” ‘s post…
This article is here to pay tribute to the young student died the night between Friday 28th and Saturday 29th, December 2012 following her rape by six men in a bus in New Delhi…
Oh, Vincent..I’m very sad. We, in Indonesia, heard about this too.. It broke my heart to pieces.. I believe she’s been taking care of in a very good hospital, there in Singapore..but she just couldn’t make it *teary eyes*. What kind of men are they? I do believe there are many good men out there. But this? no word can describe it.. May she rests in peace.. and May justice take part for the rest of the rapists..
The teen group that attempted to sexually assautl my sister were male and female. The greater known crimes is that of males– true. Thanks for stating you know there are good men, and we would rise to the occasion to stop such a dastardly crime within our view or hearing, instinctively.
I feel deep saddened after hearing that the girl couldn’t survive.
Clicking ‘like’ on a post like this one, we understand the use of the choice. I will send and I hope others will join me in sending WP support requesting an additional selection ‘concerned’. I ‘like’ you posted this, but I would have rather had the option to select ‘concerned’.
Rape in many countries does not get the community, political or legal safeguards, I think, because as a song title suggests; “It’s a man’s wolrd, agreed or not. What goes on in anyones mind, and especially in a group– that they have no fore thought of the serious injury they are inflicting and afflicting their victims with, is beyond my comprehension. At age 74 I still vividly remember when an older group of teens on my block attempted to sexually assaut my sister. You talk about fighting and yelling to the point of calling on physcial strength unknow, lungs challenged to bursting– they relented. I’m sure they were more afraid of being caught in the act than of me. This happened in a vacant store just across the street from where we all lived.
This is just the tip of the iceberg for many women! Somewhere the line has to be drawn
I too have followed this story, this tragic ending. I now mourn her life, the many lives of women around the world, victims of violence who if they survive still very much seem to have to grapple with a certain kind of death. I hope, wish, pray we learn to think, walk, live in more narratives of love.
Thanks for dropping by my blog and following Vincent. I think your blog is thought-provoking and important.
Thanks for sharing this. We must not stand by and let these things happen. I have a fifteen year old daughter and it would break my heart to have anything like this happen. Fathers, mothers, brothers and sisters have to stand up to this inhumanity and cowardice.
Very good Blog and reports well done
I hope things do change and continual awareness is the step in the right direction.
I, too, have been following this story. It makes me sad and angry. Thank you for posting.
An thank you for following my blog.
This is a great blog!
I read today that out of 95,000 pending rape cases in 2011, only 15% made it to trial. Sad and scary. I went to India in 2012 – was taken very good care of by my hosts so thankfully did not have any worries, but I sure wouldn’t want to be living there right now.
“I read today that out of 95,000 pending rape cases in 2011, only 15% made it to trial.” And the scary thing is that is just the ones that were reported.

Reading this, I wondered “What is wrong with the world?” Then, “What can I do to help make a difference?” Your blog is a good start. Thanks for the inspiration! I have some work to do!
May she rest in peace…
