Three years after Delhi gangrape, women's safety has not improved in national capital: Activists
New Delhi: Women activists say "nothing much has changed" when it comes to safety of women in the national capital since the tragic 16 December gangrape case three years ago which shook the nation and led to a massive public outcry forcing Parliament to enact a new anti-rape law.
"What has changed in Delhi? Do we have lesser rapes now? Has the security system been strengthened? Have the convicts of brutal gangrape been hanged? Definitely, the Nirbhaya gangrape trigerred a huge outcry but where are the results," said Ranjana Kumari, activist and Director, Centre for Social Research.
"The nation is yet to see the 'hanging' of the convicts and to believe the fact that the ones contributing to violence against women will be severely punished and the situation 'changed VS not changed' will continue till strong examples are set that the accused will not be spared," she added.
