Auckland, August 22, 2024
On 24th August 2024, Saturday from 2 pm to 3 pm a group of Indian migrants in Auckland will demonstrate a peaceful protest at Aotea Square in Auckland CBD. The nature of the event will be static with some posters & slogans and around 50-60 people are expected to join. The reason of this protest is to extend their support from Auckland to the common people of Kolkata, India, who are at the moment protesting in a large scale for Human Rights, Safety and Security of Women. This protest has no affiliation to any political entities or association either in NZ or India. Also have no political agenda against any government or non-government organisation either in New Zealand or India.
All Indian migrants all over the world have extended their support to the common people in India for the protest against the horrific incident that occurred in R.G. Kar Medical College and Hospital, Kolkata, India recently.
A brief background of the protest
On August 9, 2024 a 31-year-old woman who was a post-graduate medical student of 138 years old reputed medical institution of Kolkata, India named RG Kar Hospital was found raped and brutally murdered during her night-shift work inside the hospital. This incident has shaken the inner soul of the common people of Kolkata who are extremely worried about the safety and security of the women in the region. The matter has now been taken over by the judicial authorities in India. But we are protesting against the atrocities where woman safety & security is a concern. We are also looking forward to proper legal actions against the criminals. And all of us want Justice for the victim.
Our intention and agenda are to support this protest from Auckland and to appeal Justice for the victim and her family.
