The recent rape and murder of a 31-year-old female doctor in Kolkata has ignited widespread outrage and protests across India, with many calling attention to the ongoing violence against women. Celebrities like Tamannaah Bhatia have emphasized that India’s celebration of independence is incomplete without ensuring the safety of women, urging for immediate action to address these crimes. Radhika, a fellow doctor, expressed fear for her safety at work, highlighting the precarious conditions female medical staff face. The incident has led to medical strikes and a national outcry for better protective measures for women in the healthcare sector. The Supreme Court of India has responded by ordering a task force to improve security for healthcare workers. Prominent figures in the entertainment industry have echoed these sentiments, demanding justice and greater awareness to instill fear in potential offenders.
