Every 20 Minutes, Another Rape: India's Crisis | Foreign Correspondent (2013)
She was a diligent student with hopes of a career in physiotherapy. She had a boyfriend and a loving family. And unlike many fathers from India's lower strata, Jyoti's dad was very proud of his beautiful girl. Now he's devastated. Zoe Daniel reports from India, where a woman is raped almost every 20 minutes.
In this revealing and disturbing story, meet many of the people who are doing their own bit to elevate the plight of women in India. From the father and family of Jyoti hoping for justice, to brave young women stepping forward to tell their stories of abuse and to expose their attackers, and on to groups like the Red Brigade - a growing team of young women training in self defence to take on their would-be attackers.
This Foreign Correspondent documentary was originally broadcast as “India on Trial” on 5 March 2013.
