Candle Light March for the Delhi Rape victim





India, proudly, tells the whole world, that women are respected the most in the country. 16th night of December, is the night; every woman should be ashamed of living in such an insecured environment. This is the day, when, woman stepped out of their shells and raised their voices for their gender. Woman, wrong, girls, were always sexually and mentally harassed by men. But, the Delhi gang-rape case has brought women, men, and the younger generations’ realization to fight against the atrocities against women. My mother had organized for a candle march for the victim, at necklace road on Dec 21. This was the day, when students from different kinds of schools and colleges met and prayed for the girl's speed recovery. I went there with my family and friends, we were all holding placards, supporting the victim and for stopping pares and sexual harassment's happening in India. Over 100 people have come there, supporting for her. Different kinds of news channels came to cover. It was a walk from the NTR gardens' front gate. 
This particular march has helped me to notice how many people have come out to support and are not ready to let justice be denied. It has helped me to develop into a better person - it has helped me to work collaboratively with people my own age and it has also increased a lot of awareness in the public. When my mother first informed me about the march, she gave me and my brother a responsibility to invite people and to make sure that they come and she also gave me the power to organise the march -  this responsibilty has helped me to believe in myself a bit more. To look at so many people holding candles in their right hand a placards in the left hand and shouting slogans, was, something, truly. This case gained a lot of support from throughout India. We have done something for her, we showed our support, and now it's the government's turn. Something has to be done to stop all this.
