About the video:
Sunitha Krishnan exposes the disturbing trend of gang rape videos being shared on social media platforms in this powerful video.

She highlights the challenges faced when reporting these videos to local authorities, who often claim jurisdiction issues, leading her to seek help from higher government officials. Krishnan calls for accountability from social media platforms like YouTube and Facebook, urging them not only to delete such content but also to report it to law enforcement to prevent further victimization. Join us in supporting her fight against these heinous crimes and her passionate call to action for justice and safety online.
