We have gathered so that besides the government what we common people can do on an indiviaul level, to eliminate violence against women in society.
In India last month, a female student was sexually assaulted and tortured aboard a bus. She eventually died as the cruelty of this assault led many Indian people to take to the streets in protest. Indian students at Tsinghua and Chiao Tung University stepped forward today along with engineers working at the Hsinchu Science Park.

Because this is not only an Indian problem, this is a normal problem. So the violence against women is really not acceptable at any case. So what happened in India, is brutal violence so the culprit should be punished heavily.

Here is our message, she is not a victim anymore. She is our hero, we can make a change, and we call everyone to join us, so we take the first step today.
