Program: It is a peaceful event with classical dance Bharata natyam about good winning over evil and songs to raise awareness, poetry on nirbhaya and abhaya, and crystal bowl sound healing.

It is not only a peaceful protest but an out cry and a roar against sexual violence.

What Happened: In the wake of Abhaya case in India, where a trainee doctor was brutally raped and murdered followed by corruption that buried the evidence.

On August 14th mid-night, eve of Independence day in India; all women and many men came to streets to light a lamp and protest the atrocity , the cover up and the raise of sexual violence against women India.

This is not the first case of rape and nor about rape only; but the one that has deep roots into corruption and power dynamics.Supreme court in India is live telecasting the hearing and CBI (Indian FBI) is investigating the entire system.

What are we doing: To support the doctors who are protesting for a month plus, a group of us are conducting peaceful protests and awareness events across the globe in 165 cities spreading every continent.
