In the wake of a tragic incident in Bengal where a young female doctor was brutally murdered at her workplace, Bengali actress Mallobika Banerjee has stepped forward to raise her voice for justice and the safety of women. Mallobika, who hails from Bengal herself, was seen actively participating last night in protests over the crucial heinous crime caused at the R G Kar Hospital where the innocent doctor was raped and murdered
Mallobika shared pictures on her social media with a very emotional message the actress wrote, “Standing in silent solidarity for a voice that was silenced too soon. My heart aches for the innocent life lost and the unimaginable horror she endured. As we march for justice, I can’t help but question—how many more lives will it take for our girls to feel safe in a world that should protect them? #JusticeForHer #SafetyForGirls”
The actress also expressed her deep concern over the rising cases of violence against women, particularly those who leave their hometowns to pursue their dreams. “It’s unsafe for every girl to dream of something by having the courage to leave their state and settle somewhere else. It’s horrifying how a girl who aspired to serve others by becoming a doctor herself became a victim of such a heinous crime,” Mallobika remarked.
“As we celebrate today our 78th Independence Day, we should celebrate it as a black day as we have witnessed so many crimes, and murders happening in just a year. every new day brings news of girls being killed or murdered. Are we safe even after so many years of independence?” she questioned, reflecting on the harsh realities faced by women in India.
Mallobika also urged the public to move beyond mere social media condolences and to take tangible action against such atrocities. “This is my very small urge to people out there that as it’s high time now, I hope people get up from just scrolling social media and saying ‘Om Shanti’ or ‘RIP’ and stand up against all this. Only then would I feel this is the right independence for each one of us.”
Let’s hope that this 78th year of Independence brings love, light peace, and safety for all women out there and we together unite to make India a very peaceful and safe place to be in.
