2013 Mumbai gang rape
The 2013 Mumbai gang rape refers to a brutal sexual assault that occurred on December 16, 2012, in Mumbai, India, which garnered national and international condemnation and sparked widespread protests. The victim, a 23-year-old student, was gang-raped by six men on a moving bus and subsequently succumbed to her injuries days later. This incident catalyzed a nationwide outcry against sexual violence and raised critical discussions regarding women's safety, systemic patriarchy, and legal reforms in India. The public outrage led to more significant scrutiny of India’s laws governing sexual offenses, culminating in the Criminal Law (Amendment) Act of 2013, which expanded the definition of sexual crimes and established harsher penalties. The case remains a pivotal moment in India's ongoing struggle for gender equality and justice.
