Alia Bhatt’s impassioned response to the tragic rape and murder of a female trainee doctor at Kolkata’s RG Kar Medical College and Hospital has resonated strongly across social media.In her Instagram posts, she expressed deep frustration over the persistent issue of violence against women in India. Alia’s words, which reference the haunting similarities to the Nirbhaya case, highlight the alarming statistics on crimes against women, as reported by the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) in 2022.
She pointed out that the medical field, where women constitute a significant portion of the workforce, is becoming increasingly unsafe, with a notable rise in violence against female professionals. The NCRB’s 2022 data shows a 4% increase in crimes against women, with nearly 90 rapes reported daily a statistic that underscores the gravity of the situation.
Alia’s post serves as a powerful critique of the societal and systemic failures that allow such atrocities to continue unabated. She called on authorities to prioritize women’s safety and create environments where women can live and work without fear. Her concluding message, “Don’t tell women to change their path; change the terrain. Every woman deserves better,” is a poignant reminder that real change must address the root causes of violence against women.
Her stance has sparked a broader conversation about the need for urgent reforms and the protection of women in all sectors, particularly in vulnerable professions like healthcare.
Fans commented on her post saying, “Finally a bollywood actress spoke about this”
