Indian Police Fire Teargas at Rally Against Rape and Killing of Trainee Doctor

Kolkata, which was once deemed India's safest city for women, has become incompatable with female inclusion thanks to the fake progressivism of Mamata Banerjee. After campaigning on making the city safer in 2011, the ruling party went against its promise the very next year when it completely dismissed a gang rape allegation. Banerjee's governing style is to throw bandaids on bullet holes rather than actually protect women.
This case is a microcosm of a much larger national issue. Under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government, there have been countless cases of men getting away with sexual assault due to their political connections. This unfortunately makes sense given the government's promotion of a mysogynistic culture, which is likely the reason that less than 30% of sexual violence cases get solved. Women across India deserve more from their male peers and politicians.
