India commemorates Nirbhaya

India remembers Jyoti Singh Pandey, 23, who died after being brutally gang-raped on December 16, 2012 on a moving bus by six men. She is often referred as Nirbhaya (the Fearless One), Delhi Braveheart and Damini.

Police constables were deployed in New Delhi to oversee events surrounding the anniversary. Last year, protesters demanding justice for the rape victim Pandey clashed with police.

A shocked nation reacted by protesting and holding public events throughout the year. Concerts, street theater plays have been organized in various parts of the country throughout 2013.

Here, a musician takes part in a concert organized as part of Jurrat - a week-long campaign to mark the anniversary with music, poetry, exhibitions, theater and films.

A group of women gather in the capital to demand that parliament ensures equality and justice for women.

Although more stringent laws have been enacted - stalking and voyeurism are now criminal offences, penalties have been increased and fast track courts were set up in the first half of last year to try rape cases - many people still demand the youngest of the defendants in Nirbhaya's case, who is a minor, receive the death penalty.

Four of the defendants have been sentenced to death, one died in custody, and the minor received the maximum sentence of three years at a reformatory home. Here, a group of people march to demand a more severe punishment for the minor.
