What remains to be done? These are just two of many questions that will be raised at the Women of India Leadership Summit later this month that was conceived as a direct response to what happened two years ago. 
 
“The aim of the Summit is that by 2020, Delhi should stop being known as the rape capital of the country and instead be the place where women have created enough safety and security for themselves by being in charge of all that helps them become independent and safe,” entrepreneur and social activist Mudita Chandra, who helped conceive the Sep 18-20 event said.To this end, the organisers have invited established men and women from various fields to contribute their thoughts and ideas, debate, deliberate and even act out their vision of what they would like to change in the city. 
 
Apart from the daily sessions, the summit will also include various ‘take a break’ sessions and performances. Certain sessions have been conceptualised especially for men such as defeating rape culture, re-defining masculinity, consent culture and boundaries in order to encourage men to be active participants in making India safer for women. 
 
Additionally the summit will showcase four plays, including the world-renowned “The Vagina Monologues” by well known playwright and feminist Eve Ensler. 
 
According to journalist and filmmaker Revati Laul, the reason why this summit is different is that it includes the male perspective which is very important in ensuring a change in the mindset. “For things to change in more tangible ways we cannot expect centuries of conditioning and acculturation to be washed out in two years or three. But the conversations need to continue and keep tacking themselves to tangible changes on the ground and reacting to all forms of resistance to change when and where it occurs. I think this summit helps by widening the scope of the discussions and also including men at its core.”

On Tuesday, August 26, there was a party at one Ashu Kapoor’s residence where some boys entered and a fight ensued. 
 
At the party, the girls were forced to drink alcohol. One of the survivors forced her way out of the house and began crying. Neighbours reported seeing the girl and informed the police thereafter who came into the house and rescued the 19-year-old girl who was locked. The incident took place at Khirki Extension, Malviya Nagar in south Delhi. 
 
According to the FIR, the two survivors hailing from Manipur were lured by a girl from Nagaland named Manau in false promise of a job at a beauty parlour. Manau brought them to Guwahati and handed over the two girls to one Jimmy in Guwahati, who then brought them to Delhi and handed to a man named Ashu Kapoor in Malviya Nagar. According to the survivors, when Ashu Kapoor saw the girls, they were told that they were unfit to work as domestic helpers and were therefore asked to go back. 
 
In such dire consequences and with no money, the two girls were forced to sign a contract and consequently forced into flesh trade that was being run in Kapoor’s home. “Men would visit us,” the girls lament. 
 
Both the survivors had given statements before the magistrate in Saket Court on Thursday. A case has been registered in Malviya Nagar police station under sections 376(rape), 370(trafficking) and 34(common intention) of Indian Penal Code (1860). However, no arrest has been made till the filing of this report. According to latest reports, MLC reports have confirmed rape.
