On Sunday evening, West Bengal will witness the third ‘Reclaim the Night’ march, bringing together thousands of women who are united in their anger and grief over the brutal rape and murder of a young doctor in Kolkata last month. This powerful demonstration marks one month since the horrific crime, which sparked widespread protests across the nation.
The ‘Reclaim the Night’ march serves as a poignant reminder of the urgent need to address violence against women and ensure their safety. The tragic death of the postgraduate trainee has ignited nationwide outrage and calls for justice. Recognizing the gravity of the situation, the Calcutta High Court directed the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to take over the investigation, underscoring the demand for a thorough and impartial probe.
The march, a powerful symbol of solidarity and defiance, will see women from all walks of life coming together to demand an end to violence and to reclaim their right to safety and security. As the marchers take to the streets, they will amplify their voices, demanding justice for the victim and seeking systemic changes to prevent such tragedies from happening again.
