On Friday, NCW chairperson Rekha Sharma strongly condemned the statement made by member Chandramukhi Devi over the Badaun gangrape and murder victim. Shaming the victim, the NCW member had said that,"If the woman wouldn't have gone out in the evening or if a child from the family was with her, such an incident might not have taken place.''
Sharma took to Twitter and explained that they are not aware why the NCW member made the statement and ''women have all the right to move on their will whenever and wherever they want''.

No I don't..I don't know how and why the member has said this but women have all the right move on their will whenever and wherever they want to. It's society and state's duty to make places safe for women. https://t.co/WlG2DWs20G
