China asked to end violence against women in Tibet



Tibetan exiles and supporters held a candle light vigil here this evening to mark the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women and to highlight the grave treatment Tibetan people, especially the women, face inside Tibet under Communist Chinese regime.

The rally organized by the Tibetan Women’s Association (TWA), one of the largest non-governmental organizations of Tibetan exiles, was joined by members of a local Indian women’s organization Jagori Himachal and several vesting tourists.
