Nirbhaya "Fearless"
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
“Nirbhaya” (In Hindi, it means "the fearless one") was a 22-year-old physiotherapy student. On December 16, 2012, she was raped on a bus in Delhi, India.[1] Because rape laws in India do not permit using a victim's name she was known only as "Nirbhaya".[1] It is one of the many names the Indian media had given her. In 2013, “Nirbhaya” received the International Women of Courage Award from the U.S. Department of State, posthumously.[2][3][4]
