Reblogged from Bharata Bharati:
“We want the world to know her real name.”
Brave words from a brave man. And in saying them Badri Singh Pandey lit a beacon for women the world over.
Her name was Jyoti.
She was 23. She was Badri’s only daughter. And she wanted to be a doctor.
Her gang rape on a bus in Delhi shocked and horrified not just India, but the entire globe.

Very much so. It needs to change for the women in these countries. I think her father is so brave so giving her name so that she will not be forgotten and is not buying into the shame of being raped.
