It’s heartbreaking to see students having to take to the streets like this just to demand accountability for something as horrific as an on-campus rape. Everyone deserves to feel safe in their schools, and it's unacceptable that the authorities responded with tear gas and arrests instead of listening to the protesters' calls for justice. The state should be focused on protecting its citizens, not suppressing their voices with violence. This is exactly why we need stronger social protections and institutions that prioritize people's safety, especially for women and marginalized groups. The fact that they had to close schools over this shows a complete failure in handling the situation. I hope the government actually addresses the underlying issue and not just the protests. People deserve to trust that their institutions will stand up for them, not silence them.
