Why can't India tackle its sexual violence crisis?
Listen now
Description
The brutal rape and murder of a student on a bus in Delhi shocked the world in 2012. Yet despite the Indian government introducing stricter laws on sexual violence, little progress has been made to actually make women safer. Last month there were widespread protests after the rape and murder of a trainee doctor at the hospital where she worked. What should India’s leaders do differently to protect women at home, at work and on the streets? On this episode, Katya Adler speaks to the BBC’s India correspondent Soutik Biswas and presenter Devina Gupta. Producers: Alice Aylett Roberts, Laurie Kalus, Tse Yin Lee and Peter Goffin Sound engineers: Dafydd Evans and Mike Regaard Assistant editor: Sergi Forcada Freixas Senior news editor: Sara Wadeson
