A series of recent rape cases in India has reignited discussions about women's safety and the effectiveness of existing laws. Despite legal reforms and stricter punishments implemented after the 2012 Nirbhaya case, sexual violence persists. Hundreds of students marched in New Delhi demanding better safety measures following a recent incident where three men allegedly raped a 17-year-old girl. Activists argue that a mindset change is crucial, as societal attitudes often blame victims. Official data indicates an increase in reported rape cases, highlighting ongoing challenges in ensuring women's security.
