Protesters took to the streets of New Delhi on December 1, 2019 to demand justice for the Hyderabad rape and murder victim. The gang rape of a 23-year-old physiotherapy student in New Delhi on December 16, 2012, brought the issue of women's safety in India to the world's attention. The Hyderabad murder was just one of many vicious and violent crimes committed against women and children in the country during the past seven days alone. Supporters of India's ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) hold a vigil for the Hyderabad rape and murder victim in Siliguri, West Bengal on November 30, 2019. In the wake of the 2012 Delhi Gang rape case, lawmakers passed a series of amendments to the existing rape laws.
