　　Is India a Safe Place for Women? Another Brutal Killing Raises the Question.

　　From: The New York Times

　　In December 2012， a 23-year-old physiotherapy student boarded a bus in New Delhi a little after 9 p.m.， expecting it would take her home. Instead， she was gang-raped and assaulted so viciously. She died days later as India erupted in rage.

　　Nearly 12 years later， the nation is convulsing with anger once again — this time， over the ghastly rape and murder of a 31-year-old trainee doctor in a Kolkata hospital， as she rested in a seminar room after a late-night shift. Since the Aug 9. killing， thousands of doctors have gone on strike to demand a safer work environment and thousands more people have taken to the streets to demand justice.

　　For a country desperate to be seen as a global leader， repeated high-profile cases of brutal sexual assaults highlight an uncomfortable truth: India， by many measures， remains one of the world’s most unsafe places for women. Rape and domestic violence are relatively common， and conviction rates are low.

　　This week， the Supreme Court of India took up the Kolkata case as one of fundamental rights and safety， questioning how hospital administrators and police officers had handled it and saying new protective measures were needed. “The nation cannot wait for another rape and murder for real changes on the ground，” Chief Justice D.Y. Chandrachud said.

　　Gender-related violence is hardly unique to India. But even as millions of Indian women have joined the urban work force in the past decade， securing their financial independence and helping to fuel the country’s rapid growth， they are still often left to bear the burden of their own safety.

　　Longstanding customs that both repress women and in many cases confine them to the home have made their safety in public spaces an afterthought. It can be dangerous for a woman to use public transportation， especially at night， and sexual harassment occurs frequently on the streets and in offices. Mothers tell their daughters to be watchful. Brothers and husbands drop their sisters and wives off at work.

　　The millions of Indian women who have entered the work force in recent years have challenged patriarchal norms to pursue the same opportunities that men have in one of the world’s fast-growing economies. Women， along with men， are also increasingly migrating from villages to cities， seeking better earnings.

　　But India still has a low labor force participation rate among women compared to other countries， a figure that had been on a long downward slide until the past few years. Women make up less than a third of India’s urban labor force， and men vastly outnumber women in both government and private-sector jobs.

　　Safety in the workplace is essential if more women are to enter the labor force， said Gita Gopinath， the first deputy managing director of the International Monetary Fund.
