INDIA - Violence Against Women (Revisited)

"An Awakening in India to Scourge of Violence Against Women" PBS Newshour 4/1/2013

Excerpt

JUDY WOODRUFF (Newshour):  Now: an awakening in India to the problem of violence against women.

Special correspondent Fred de Sam Lazaro has a report, part of our “Agents for Change” series.

And a warning:  Some scenes in his story are disturbing.

WOMAN:  Outrage against a barbaric crime is only growing.

FRED DE SAM LAZARO:  It used to be socially taboo to talk about rape or sexual assault in India.  Now it's in the news almost every day.  And advocates who have tried to bring attention to these issues say it might just bring a shift in attitudes after decades of indifference.
