The Pink Gang

UTTAR PRADESH, INDIA - 2011/12/10: Members of Gulabi Gang gather for a meeting in the centre of the village. The Gulabi gang, or "the pink gang" as in direct translation from Hindi, is a group of women who basically take justice in their own hands. Out of desperation in the government officials' incompetency in dealing with abusive and domestic violence, Sampat Pal Devi forms the Gulabi Gang. Its main purpose is to help promote better living conditions for women around India. After being in operation for more than half a decade, the Gulabi Gang is reported to have more than 20,000 members and has saved thousands of women's lives across the country..
