The parliament has officially committed to the policy changes we demanded for women's safety and development. Your signatures forced this conversation out of the shadows and into actual legislature. Keep watching the upcoming implementation reports to make sure these promises turn into reality.

We want firmer policy on gender equality, safety and developmental opportunities for women in India
Final supporters
We love India and many aspects of the Indian culture. The documentary 'India's Daughter' however, draws our attention to an element of Indian culture for which we may not close our eyes: the gender differences, that place women at all levels of Indian society in an inferior position, not only in India but throughout the Diaspora.
This position deprives women of their development opportunities and makes them indefensible to all kinds of abuse, such as domestic and sexual violence. Given the honor of families is considered related to the chastity and integrity of women, sexual abuses are usually concealed. Thus perpetrators stay unpunished for their misdeeds and women in Indian society are placed in an untenable position.
The documentary 'India's Daughter' has started a debate in the Indian Parliament. Unfortunately, this debate is mostly about the motives of the makers and censorship of the documentary.
We urge the parliament to look into the miserable position of Indian women and to undertake stronger action at all levels and facets of the Indian society. We plea for a firmer policy to achieve gender equality, safety and development opportunities for women.

The woman of India should be taken good care of. It is the weakness and fear that most men have that causes this... I respect woman and would never ever do anything to harm them. Men or Woman, we are all children of the same Universal God... Let's unite and LOVE!!!
Alle verkrachters voor de rechter!. Respect voor mensenrechten!. India is geen achterlijke cultuur!.
Mijn bewondering voor de strijd om gelijkheid van vrouwen in India heeft mijn volledige steun. Het is en blijft en zal altijd onbegrijpelijk en onaanvaardbaar zijn dat mannen denken vrouwen zo te kunnen behandelen. Shame on them.
keep on fighting for equality. It's good that women get there own rights to think, to be and to live
To the Indian parliament you lave a huge population, your economy is prospering please set a good global example, give greater respect & emphasis to gender equality to the strong vibrant women of your country so that other country's can follow. .
Het moet eens afgelopen zijn met die rotzooi
God made us same who are humans to discriminate

India heeft genoeg geld voor van alles en nog wat. Maar aan hun eigen mensen besteden ze pas geld wanneer het buitenland ze onder druk zet. Vaak ook alleen maar beperkt tot zichtbare maatregelen. Niets komt daadwerkelijke terecht bij de behoeftigen.
