Nirbhaya Fund
In response to the Nirbhaya Gang rape case, a special fund was established in 2013 with the goal of carrying out programmes to increase the security and protection of women in India. The name of the fund, “Nirbhaya Fund” comes from the gang-rape victim’s alias, “Nirbhaya,” which means “fearless.”
