India Gang-Rape Victim Dies In Singapore Hospital
Never discussed or considered is the long term effects of rape or abuse. There are many people who live only half a life because of what they were able to survive.
This poor girl - how I wish her torture and death could mean something but we have always had and will always have rape.
SINGAPORE An Indian woman who was gang-raped and beaten on a bus in New Delhi died Saturday at a Singapore hospital, after her ordeal galvanized Indians to demand greater protection for women from sexual violence that impacts thousands of them every day.
Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said he was aware of the emotions the attack has stirred and that it was up to all Indians to ensure that the young woman's death will not have been in vain.
The victim "passed away peacefully" with her family and officials of the Indian Embassy by her side, Dr. Kevin Loh, the chief executive of Mount Elizabeth hospital, said in a statement.
