The #RapeRoko campaign, which started after an eight-month-old girl was raped by a 27-year-old man in the Capital, to urge the government to give death penalty to the rapists of children within six months is gaining international support. Amy Volume, a Canadian Radio Jockey, is also supporting the campaign through social media with hashtags like #EndRapeCulture and #JusticeForBabyNirbhaya. I am hopeful that through this campaign people across ideologies and regions will come support us," she said. The commission has written letters to the Members of Parliament asking for support to the campaign. The eight-month-old rape victim had to go through a three-hour-long surgery, where her injuries required stitches in her private parts.
