Countrywide Protests, Anger On Twitter Over Kathua, Unnao Rape Cases

New Delhi: India spoke up in one voice against the horrific gang-rape and killing of 8-year-old girl in Kathua, and the rape of a teenager in Unnao, where a BJP lawmaker is the key accused. People from all walks of life were out on the streets, on Sunday afternoon, with a message that was loud and clear; no more suffering in silence. 

Singer, lyricist and music producer Vishal Dadlani joined the protests in Mumbai. He tweeted, "Stop being apolitical. Become political! We are citizens with the power of the vote & we're responsible for every Indian child. Don't forget who tried to shield rapists/murderers!"

Thank you, Mumbai, for demanding justice for the victims of #Unnao #Kathua #Surat & so many more.

Actor Juhi Chawla tweeted, "I can't explain the storm inside."
"Apart from better policing and justice, fight against rape starts at home on how boys are taught to see girls as equals," tweeted filmmaker Shekhar Kapur.

Apart from better policing and justice, fight against #rape starts at home on how boys are taught to see girls as equals. At schools which carry responsibility for education on equality. And against objectification of women by Media for commercial gain. All of us are responsible
