Thousands of Indians have taken to the streets to protest the rape and murder of a doctor in a government hospital in Kolkata city last week. They are demanding justice and better security and facilities at medical campuses and hospitals.
The attack has cast a spotlight on how millions of Indian women remain exposed to abuse in the workplace and continue to face severe barriers to justice for sexual violence.
On August 9, a 31-year-old trainee doctor was found dead in a seminar room. News reports said she had fallen asleep in the classroom after a grueling 36-hour shift because there was no designated rest area for staff. The autopsy showed her body bore severe injuries, including fractures, suggesting a brutal assault. A male hospital volunteer worker has been arrested.
India has laws such as the POSH Act to address violence against women and protect them from sexual harassment in the workplace. The laws against rape and sexual abuse were strengthened after a 2012 gang rape and murder in Delhi sparked nationwide protests.
However, the authorities have failed to effectively enforce the law or ensure complaint committees tackle sexual harassment in both the formal and informal sectors.

In India, the surname “Roy” is commonly associated with Bengali-speaking communities. It does not necessarily indicate a specific religion or caste by itself, as it can be found among both Hindu and Muslim families in Bengal. Historically, it has been used by various castes and communities, so its presence alone does not definitively indicate a particular caste or religion.
Several observations:
I thought all cultures were equal.
Why do hospitals require interns to work extremely long hours?
Rape wasn’t even against the law in India until a few years ago. The frequent rapes are more from the Hindu culture than the Islamic one.
Yes they do and its the Hindus and Muslims both.
Mumbai Mike Lee says we need millions and millions of Indians brought into America for “much corporations”. Mumbai Mike serves the interests of corporate America instead of the American people.
The Indian laws were initially coded by the British. Rape has been a crime for centuries, unless jihadis committed it. please google before showing your ignorance.
please google articles on American campus rape before spouting off.
