In this Dec. 2, 2013 photo, a staff member enters information after a call by a distressed woman on a government hotline established in the wake of last year's gang rape and murder of a young woman, in New Delhi, India. The government hotline is part of a wave of change since the case forced the country to confront its appalling 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 Photo/Saurabh Das)
