New Delhi, Sep 30 (PTI) Students’ Federation of India (SFI) activists took out a protest march from the Salimgarh Flyover to the Delhi Secretariat on Wednesday against incidents of sexual violence against women and minors in the national capital.
The students demanded working street lights and CCTV cameras, functional Pink Booths, student representation in Internal Complaints Committees (ICCs) and regular sensitisation programmes across educational institutions and public spaces.
The protest comes days after the alleged gangrape of a 17-year-old girl in Aastha Kunj Park near Lady Shri Ram College. The incident has triggered a series of demonstrations by women students across Delhi University campuses.
The SFI Delhi, in a statement, alleged that several cases of rape and sexual harassment involving minor girls had been reported in the national capital in September.
The students also opposed “restrictions” on women students’ mobility, clothing and movement at night, and called for action against sexual violence instead of curbs. PTI AHD AHD VN
