Indian medics step up strike in protest at doctor's rape and murder
Briefly

Dr. Johnrose Jayalal, president of the Indian Medical Association, stated, 'Public anger was so high that we felt compelled to intensify the strike... We want the government to take responsibility for ensuring [the] safety [of women] by declaring hospitals as protection zones.' His remarks highlight the urgent demand for safety in healthcare settings and reflect broader societal concerns regarding violence against women and medical professionals.
In the wake of the brutal rape and murder of a 31-year-old doctor, protests have surged across West Bengal and beyond. They signify not only a response to this tragedy but also a pervasive outcry for women's safety in India.' This sentiment was echoed by a protester who noted, 'This is both about the Kolkata doctor who was brutalised and every woman who has faced sexual violence or harassment in the country.'
