RIP Nirbhaya. Delhi gang rape victim,"passed away peacefully at 4.45 a.m. (2.15 IST), 29-12-2012" with her distraught family and Indian diplomats by her side, Singapore's Mount Elizabeth Hospital's Kelvin Loh said. She died but she became a catalyst in making the nation to fig for the honor of women. Her words 'they should be punished' should ring in the corridors of power and any individual responsible for delaying or denying justice should also be suitably punished. Her death will further harden the demand of all right-thinking people to strengthen our laws against rapes, uphold the dignity and safety of girls and women, as well as the struggle for gender equality.

Tens of thousands of demonstrators took to the streets across India , calling on authorities to stem the rising tide of violent sexual attacks on women, after a 23-year-old medical student was raped and beaten by six men on a Delhi bus. The condition of the woman is reported to be "critical". Delhi has one of the highest rates of crime against women in India. Delhi is often called the "rape capital of India" - police recorded more than 550 cases in the city last year.

The new Indian census(2011), which put the population at 1.2 billion, has revealed an alarming trend. Rising incomes only seem to accelerate gendercide – the evocative term for the selective abortion of girl foetuses. There were 945 girls per 1,000 boys in the 1991 census, 927 in 2001 and now 914. It's now a crisis and we need to move beyond just acknowledging the issue.The PC & PNDT Act 1994 prohibits any form of sex-determination practise and sex-selective abortion.
According to the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) of India; 89,546 cases of cruelty by husband and relatives; 21,397 cases of rape; 11,009 cases of sexual harassment and 5,650 cases of dowry harassment were reported in India during the year 2009.

UNiTE to End Violence against Women and girls!
“As we commemorate International Women’s Day, we must look back on a year of shocking crimes of violence against women and girls and ask ourselves how to usher in a better future.
One young woman was gang-raped to death. Another committed suicide out of a sense of shame that should have attached to the perpetrators. Young teens were shot at close range for daring to seek an education.
These atrocities, which rightly sparked global outrage, were part of a much larger problem that pervades virtually every society and every realm of life.
Look around at the women you are with. Think of those you cherish in your families and your communities. And understand that there is a statistical likelihood that many of them have suffered violence in their lifetime. Even more have comforted a sister or friend, sharing their grief and anger following an attack.
This year on International Women’s Day, we convert our outrage into action. We declare that we will prosecute crimes against women – and never allow women to be subjected to punishments for the abuses they have suffered. We renew our pledge to combat this global health menace wherever it may lurk – in homes and businesses, in war zones and placid countries, and in the minds of people who allow violence to continue.
We also make a special promise to women in conflict situations, where sexual violence too often becomes a tool of war aimed at humiliating the enemy by destroying their dignity.”
--- Ban Ki-moon, UN Secretary-General

“To call woman the weaker sex is a libel; it is man's injustice to woman. If by strength is meant brute strength, then, indeed, is woman less brute than man. If by strength is meant moral power, then woman is immeasurably man's superior. Has she not greater intuition, is she not more self-sacrificing, has she not greater powers of endurance, has she not greater courage? Without her, man could not be. If nonviolence is the law of our being, the future is with woman. Who can make a more effective appeal to the heart than woman?”
― Mahatma Gandhi

Give a girl an education and introduce her properly into the world, and ten to one but she has the means of settling well, without further expense to anybody.
This is Kamala (also, here). She is 7 years old. She lives with her parents and an older bother at a farmhouse of a remote village in Tapi district of Gujarat, India. Her father does animal husbandry, and the entire household earns about $10k in a good year.
Kamala is fortunate to have gotten into the local school. She can read and write simple text in vernacular. She loves using her "Bic" ballpoint pen that she found by the road one day while walking back from school. The appropriate caption would be: "Educating the girl child of rural India."

“The surest way to keep people down is to educate the men and neglect the women. If you educate a man you simply educate an individual, but if you educate a woman, you educate a family.” James Emman Kwegyir Aggrey
Village girls were washing their dish in local pond. Most of the village girls had to do all the household work. After this work they couldn't attend school for further education.

In Nubra valley ,girls travel hours every day to reach the nearest school. The education that sometimes we take for granted is for sure the greatest privilege we had. Right to education is the most basic right and the children in Ladakh are a great example of valuing education that some of us never did.
It is our national duty to create societal awareness on girl child education and bring about lasting socio-cultural change.
