BBC World News - HARDtalk, Kavita Krishnan

Stephen Sackur talks to the prominent women's rights campaigner Kavita Krishnan, in Delhi.

Stephen Sackur is in Delhi, India, to talk to Kavita Krishnan, Secretary of All India Progressive Women's Association. Is India becoming a safer more equal society for women?

In a special edition of HARDtalk, recorded in the Indian capital, Stephen Sackur talks to the prominent women's rights campaigner, Kavita Krishnan. Delhi is a proud capital of the nation - a noisy and vibrant place - but a city stained by its record on sexual violence. More rapes are recorded here than any other Indian city. Just over a year ago a 23 year old medical student died after a brutal gang rape on a bus which shocked the nation and prompted millions of people to demand government action to end gender violence. Is India becoming a safer more equal society for women?
