please help STOP Gendercide of Indian Women !

In December 2012, the Delhi Gang Rape public uprising sent a furious message to the the government of India! That message was: ” We are not going to tolerate government apathy and corruption in face of the intolerable violence on girls and women in India.”

There’s an increase of 873% in India’s rape crime rate. Moreover, in 20 years, 20% of women will have been exterminated from India subject to all forms of gender specific violence. [Also browse our newspaper log]

The government’s first response was — stony silence! It pretended it didn’t hear!

As the uprising gathered momentum and all of India came on board, the government decided it to use brutal force to clamp down on the protestors.

Again for 7 days there was no sound from the Prime Minister’s office! Then the government speedily both acknowledged the report, and came up with a new ordinance on rape and violence against women, claiming they’ve accepted 90% of the Verma Committee recommendations. This was done without pubic involvement, or parliamentary debate! But as Justice Verma himself has pointed out: the Government completely ignored the observations and recommendations of the Verma Committee!
