The Gulabi gang; against domestic violence

The Gulabi gang is a group of women activists in India. The group first appeared in Bundelkhand, Uttar Pradesh, being founded by Data Satbodh Sain and earlier commanded by Sampat Pal Devi, as a response to widespread domestic abuse and other violence against women.

Gulabi gang is not an actual gang, but rather a team of women working towards justice for oppressed and abused women. The women wear uniform pink saris symbolizing strength, and carry around bamboo sticks that can be used as weapons if needed. They also track down and beat abusive husbands with their sticks.
