ABVP protests in Delhi demanding better safety for female students

The All India Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) organised a demonstration in Delhi to highlight concerns over the safety of female students on campuses and public spaces. Protestors gathered at a central location in the capital, holding placards and chanting slogans urging authorities to strengthen security protocols.

Organisers said recent incidents have heightened anxiety among women pursuing higher education, and they demanded immediate action from the Delhi government and university administrations. They called for increased police presence, better lighting, and stricter enforcement of existing safety guidelines.

The demonstration remained peaceful, with no reports of clashes or arrests. Officials from the Delhi education department were approached for comment, and a spokesperson indicated that the matter would be reviewed.

ABVP leaders emphasized that safeguarding women’s right to education is essential for the nation’s progress, urging swift implementation of protective measures.

The protest underscores growing public pressure to address gender‑based safety concerns in academic institutions across the city.
