VOICED : Indias rebels in red take on sexual

The Red Brigade, a group of women in Lucknow, India, seeks vigilante justice against sexual predators. They confront harassers, sometimes resorting to physical action if necessary. The group has grown significantly since a high-profile gang rape in Delhi, with members receiving self-defense training. While they aim to empower women, there are concerns about the limits of taking the law into their own hands. Personal stories, like that of a 13-year-old rape victim, highlight the challenges women face in a patriarchal society. Despite tougher laws, many women still rely on protests and self-defense for safety.
