Youth Against Rape is a mission started by Youth Against Injustice Foundation, a nonprofit organization in India. The main motto of Youth Against Rape is to eradicate rape from India.[1]

Background

According to government data from 2018, at least one woman reports a rape every 15 minutes on an average in India. Almost 34,000 rapes were reported in 2018, barely changed from the year before. Of which over 85% led to charges and 27% to convictions, says National Crime Record Bureau (NCRB) in the annual crime report released by the Ministry of Home Affairs.[2]

History

Three men on bicycles
The bicycle tour at India Gate

Piyush Monga, a young graduate working in Delhi, was concerned by the increasing number of rape cases in India. After discussing matters with Yogesh Rawal and Ranchod Devashi, they decided to set up an Instagram page called "Youth against rape" which quickly gained 50,000 followers.[3] As of 2021, it has 332,000 followers.[4]

They set up a non-governmental organization called the Youth Against Injustice Foundation which works on eliminating injustices such as rape, fake rape allegations and sexual abuse from India.[5][6] Monga, Rawal and Devashi decided to make a bicycle tour to promote their agenda. In October 2019, the three set off from Jantar Mantar, New Delhi with green signal from Nirbhaya's parents.[7][8] By December 2019, the three had visited over 160 schools in Delhi, Haryana, Rajasthan, Chattisgarh and Gujarat.[3][9][10][11][12] The three aim to travel over 50,000 kilometres in over two years.[13][14][15][16]
