London, UK. 21st April 2018. Protesters at India House call for the Indian government to take effective action against the rape culture that they say has been encouraged by members of the ruling BJP party, leading to an increasing number of crimes against women. In a recent horrendous incident, Asifa Bano, an 8-year-old girl from a nomadic Muslim family in Kathua, Jammu and Kashmir, was kidnapped and taken to a Hindu temple where she was gang raped before being strangled with her own scarf, her skull bashed in with a rock and her dead body left in a forest. According to the protesters there are 106 rapes per day in India with 4 our of 10 of the victims being minors. Some of those at the protest called for the death penalty for rape, and one placard - which no one was holding - read 'Chop Off Their Raping Tools'. Peter Marshall/Alamy Live News
