By Jon SweeneySince the death of a medical student who was gang raped on a bus in New Delhi (http://worldnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2013/01/03/16321396-india-gang-rape-victims-father-hang-the-monsters-responsible?lite) the issue of women's security has been under the spotlight as never before in India. Mansi Thapliyal (http://blogs.reuters.com/mansithapliyal/), a female Indian photographer working for Reuters, interviewed a variety of women in New Delhi to find out how they feel about their safety since the rape.
Reactions were strong and wide ranging, from women who now feel they need to arm themselves or take self-defense classes, to others who are scared to go out alone at night.
