Parents of Damini who was fatally raped in a New Delhi bus light a flame in her memory, on the first anniversary of the incident, in New Delhi. The victim, a 23 year old physiotherapy student, became a rallying cry for tens of thousands protesting the treatment of women. In some ways, the case cracked a cultural taboo surrounding discussion of sexual violence in a country where rape is often viewed as a woman's personal shame to bear. (AP Photos)
