NEW DELHI — Dozens of artists and activists gathered in India’s capital on Sunday to demand an end to violence against women in a country where such crimes are rising despite tough laws enacted seven years ago. Dozens of artists performed a play in a park in central Delhi at the event in solidarity with the global One Billion Rising movement. The movement was founded in 2012 as part of the V-Day movement to combat rape and sexual violence against women. Traditional drummers and musicians played tunes to the cheers of the crowd to focus attention on sexual abuse in India.
