People of India are angry with the government! People around the world are shocked with your insensitivity and corruption in the face of increasing violence on women in India!!

People of India are angry with the government! People around the world are shocked with your insensitivity and corruption in the face of increasing violence on women in India!!

Rape is up by 873% in India.  In 20 years 20% of women will have been killed in India subject to all kinds of gender specific violence! 

We want to know why you won't implement the Justice Verma Committee's recommendation for the new Rape law in India?

Instead you mock the Verma report and you mock the women of India by allowing Kurien, a politician identified by a rape victim as one of 42 men who gang raped her, to chair a discussion on India's new rape law!!!!

WE DEMAND THAT YOU HONOR ALL THE RECOMMENDATION'S ON THE VERMA REPORT AS SPECIFIED (CLICK HERE)

and genocidal violence against women in India.  See our other sites (below)

If we want the system of law and order to respond ethically to rape and violence on women we will have to force the government of India to honor the findings and recommendations of the Verma committee for the new rape law in India!  The government is protecting rapists in government office by ignoring the Verma report!  All the more the reason, the public must force it to act!

    If you are in the UK or Australia please join these efforts there to support the Indian protests against escalating rape and violence on Indian women. International pressure is very important to send the message to the government of India, that despite being sought by FDI interests, global citizens will still hold their governments accountable for who they do business with and what India's human rights records are!
