About the Campaign
No More Nirbhayas - Towards Better Policing is a CHRI Campaign demanding an improved police response to crimes against women. Women need better policing to feel safe and secure, and especially to tackle sexual violence which is endemic and affects the lives of countless girls and women across the country. One year on from the tragic gangrape and death of a young girl in Delhi, the campaign has adopted the gangrape victim's alias 'Nirbhaya' as a synonym for the victims and survivors of sexual violence who are entitled to the very best police response but often do not get it.
This blog is part of the Campaign, providing a space for documenting incidents of sexual assault since 16/12 and discussing the progress (or lack thereof) of reform efforts necessary for ensuring women's safety. This blog has updated databases of relevant laws, government-commissioned reports and crime statistics that will serve as a ready resource for journalists, researchers, women's rights activists and members of the general public.
Based on an analysis of statistics available in the 2012 National Crime Records Bureau Report 'Crime in India', we have narrowed down to ten states where reported incidents of rape are evidently high - Assam, Andhra Pradesh, Odisha, Chhattisgarh, Kerala, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal.
This campaign demands
We will keep the campaign alive from December 16 to March 8, International Women's Day. We hope that individuals and groups interested in contributing to the discourse on gender crimes, policing and the law will utilise this space for meaningful discussions on the subject.

- Access to justice is made real for victims of sexual assault.
- Gender-sensitive handling of cases of sexual assault.
- Accountability from the police when they fail to act responsibly in cases of sexual assault.
We will keep the campaign alive from December 16 to March 8, International Women's Day. We hope that individuals and groups interested in contributing to the discourse on gender crimes, policing and the law will utilise this space for meaningful discussions on the subject.
