Thousands took to the streets of Kolkata early Thursday morning to condemn the rape and murder of a medic that has triggered protests across India demanding better safety for women.
Large crowds marched through the streets of Kolkata in West Bengal to condemn the killing, with a candlelight rally at midnight coinciding with the start of India’s independence day celebrations on Thursday. “We face harassment almost on a daily basis,“ another marcher, Sangeeta Halder, told the daily. “But not stepping out because of fear is not the solution.”
Protests have since occurred in several other hospitals across the country, including in the capital.
