Sharing a copy of the letter on Twitter, Maliwal wrote in Hindi: "It has been ten years since the Nirbhaya gang rape case. However, nothing has changed until now. I am writing a letter to the respected Lok Sabha speaker and Rajya Sabha chairman requesting the suspension of the parliamentary session today and the holding of talks on the topic of women's safety in parliament."
“The problem of increasing crimes against women and girls has reached an epidemic proportion and governments are failing to take concrete steps to counter it. Even the Nirbhaya Fund that was set up for providing relief and rehabilitation for women and girls has been reduced substantially. Governments have failed to create deterrence in the minds of people against crimes against women and girls,” the DCW chief wrote in her letter.
