"Early morning, today, received tragic news of death of a rape victim from Delhi. I pray for peace to the great soul. We tried to join her struggle for life, but failed," Sule said on her blog.
"This is high time for us to retrospect about what has been happening for last 15 days. This is high time for us to take up the issue of women's and young girls' safety everywhere, at public places, private spaces and even at our home," she added.
Sule also called upon the government and the police machinery to remain alert on this issue. "Prime Minister himself mentioned that it is up to us all to ensure that her death will not have been in vain...Government, police and administrations at all level need to be alert on this issue," she said.
We should check all our further actions and our past decisions with respect to the safety of the women, Sule said adding, "This is a difficult time to control our outrage as social groups," she said.
