Indian Medical Student Dies After Hours Long Gang Rape

I heard the news that this young woman had died while I was driving home from my parents, my daughter sleeping in the backseat. I couldn't help but cry. It's hard to imagine someone I know and love suffering so terribly. The details of this bright young woman's assault by six men on a bus are horrifying. It's hard to believe that anyone could have so little respect for another human's life, that six men could have such hatred and anger in them. But it happened and now she is gone. Through all the pain, and while doctors in both India and Singapore tried to save her life, she wanted to live, she wanted to survive. We all owe it to this woman to ensure that she does survive. That she is never forgotten. That those horrifying and painful hours of her life bring about massive change. We have to make sure there is change. No daughter, mother, sister, wife should ever go through something like this ever again. We need to rise up, sisters. This can NEVER happen again. http://www.thestar.com/news/world/article/1308098--indian-gang-rape-victim-dies-in-hospital
