She was a 23-year-old physical therapy student who boarded a bus in Delhi last month. <b>Six men locked the door, and savagely raped her for hours</b>,
including with a metal rod. They dumped her naked in the street, and
after bravely fighting for her life, she died last weekend. <br><br> Across India, people are responding in <b>massive protests to say enough is enough.</b> In
India a woman is raped every 22 minutes, and few see justice. Globally,
a staggering 7 in 10 women will be physically or sexually abused in
their lifetime. This horror in Delhi is the last straw -- it's 2013,
and <b>the brutal, venal, global war on women must stop.</b> We can start by drawing the line in India. <br><br><b>The government is accepting public comments for the next 24 hours</b>.
We urgently need both stronger law enforcement and a massive public
education program to change the grotesque but common male attitudes that
permit violence against women. <b>If 1 million of us join the call for action, we can help make this young woman's horror the last straw</b>, and the beginning of a new hope. <b>Sign the petition now!</b><br>
