JNUSU’s 'Bekhauf Azadi March' Honors December 2012 Incident

The Jawaharlal Nehru University Students' Union organized the 'Bekhauf Azadi March' to mark the 12th anniversary of the December 2012 Delhi gang rape. Students protested against gender-based violence and advocated for justice in other sensitive cases like Hathras and Kathua, highlighting the ongoing battle for women's safety.

The Jawaharlal Nehru University Students' Union (JNUSU) organized the 'Bekhauf Azadi March' on Monday, commemorating 12 years since the December 2012 Delhi gang rape, a brutal crime that appalled the nation and prompted wide-ranging criminal law amendments.

Hundreds of students gathered for the march, proceeding from the university's iconic Ganga Dhaba to the Munirka bus stop, where the tragic event began for the 23-year-old victim. The marchers rallied against gender-based violence and emphasized the alarming frequency of crimes against women in India.

In addition to recalling the 2012 incident, the students demanded justice for victims of other horrific cases, including the Hathras and Kathua incidents, calling them moments that severely impacted the nation's collective moral conscience.
