INDIA'S Parliament passed a sweeping new law Thursday to protect women against sexual violence, in response to a fatal December gang rape and beating of a young woman on a bus in New Delhi.
The new law, which still requires the president's signature before it becomes official, makes stalking, voyeurism and sexual harassment a crime. It also provides for the death penalty for repeat offenders or for rape attacks that lead to the victim's death.
Under the law it is also a crime for police to refuse to open cases when they receive complaints of sexual attacks.
