On the anniversary of the 2012 brutal Delhi gang-rape, we must acknowledge India’s achievements over the last year in order to draw strength and inspiration for the long road ahead.
Mini (names changed) is a 24-year-old woman who works at my friend Jyoti’s house. Three days ago, she told Jyoti that her 15-year-old sister was gang-raped in a remote village in Jharkand. As part of a family dispute, the son of a man well-known to her brought two friends and watched as they raped her on her way home from school. When Jyoti wanted to help Mini press charges, take her sister to the hospital, get the morning-after pill, Mini was silent. Then she said, “It is like this for women. At least she didn’t die.”
