Calling upon the women folk to break their silence and raise their voices against such inhuman violence, the rallyists expressed concern saying thatwomen face molestation in every 26 minutes, a rape occurs in every 34 minutes, a woman is killed in every 93 minutes and a kidnap takes place in every 43 minutes. The rally is to support every tortured woman.
