Students at Delhi University staged a protest demanding stronger safety measures for women, asserting that conditions have not improved since the 2012 Delhi gang‑rape incident.
Students of Delhi University gathered on campus to voice concerns over the safety of female students, holding placards that read “Nothing changed since Dec 16, 2012.” The demonstration was organized by student groups who say that despite national attention after the 2012 Delhi gang‑rape, campus security measures remain inadequate.
The protestors highlighted persistent issues such as insufficient lighting, lack of women‑only transport, and delayed police response to complaints. By invoking the date of the 2012 incident, they underscored a perception that promised reforms have not materialised over the past decade.
The rally drew attention from faculty and media, renewing public debate on how educational institutions can better protect women and ensure a safe learning environment.
