Powerful Photographs Of India Demanding Justice For Women
A woman who was brutally gang-raped by six men on December 16th died from her injuries on Saturday. The pressure on the Indian government to be tougher on crimes against women reaches its boiling point.

The 23-year-old student, whose name has not been released, was brutally raped by six men on the bus after seeing "Life of Pi" with a friend. After the rape and beating, she was tossed on a roadside. She died in the early morning Saturday, unable to recover from her numerous injuries.
In a statement to the Associated Press, Mount Elizabeth Hospital executive Kevin Loh said that "despite all efforts by a team of eight specialists in Mount Elizabeth Hospital to keep her stable, her condition continued to deteriorate over these two days. She had suffered from severe organ failure following serious injuries to her body and brain. She was courageous in fighting for her life for so long against the odds but the trauma to her body was too severe for her to overcome.”
Six men are in custody for their role in the attack, and they have now been charged with murder (in addition to rape and kidnapping). In this case, the Indian government has said their trial will be expedited and could begin as early as next week. Rape support organizations in India say that rape cases routinely take years to be heard in the Indian court system.
Writer Nilanjana Roy wrote a blog post early Saturday morning that this was "enough."
"Let there be an end to this epidemic of violence, this culture where if we can’t kill off our girls before they are born, we ensure that they live these lives of constant fear. Like many women in India, I rely on a layer of privilege, a network of friends, paranoid security measures and a huge dose of amnesia just to get around the city, just to travel in this country. So many more women have neither the privilege, nor the luxury of amnesia, and this week, perhaps we all stood up to say, 'Enough.' no matter how incoherently or angrily we said it."

The Year Without Esme
How the coolest girl in the world taught me, and an entire community, to cope with her death. And how to live.
Image by Summer Anne Burton
“Esme Barrera was” doesn’t feel like the right beginning. Esme Barrera is the biggest heart in the tiniest body. She is the kindest and most generous person I’ve ever known. When people who didn’t get the chance to know Esme started telling me they were sorry for my loss, I wanted to say, “I’m sorry for yours.” Getting to know her at all is one of the best things that ever happened to me, even more so than losing her was the worst.
Esme was – is, always – 29 years old. She was born in El Paso, Texas to a tight-knit family that she spoke about often and always with love. She moved to Austin in 2004 and immediately became an integral part of the local music community. You could find Esme in the front row of every good show, her tiny body rocking with fists up. If she knew you, she'd yell "Duuuuude!" hug you tight, and point out all the cute boys in the room. If she didn't know you, she'd be more than happy to make your acquaintance and find out what your favorite songs were.
Esme worked part-time at the best record store in Texas, Waterloo Records, starting in 2006. She was the consummate record-store gal — perfect, personal, cool but with unaffected taste in music and was always super stoked to share her latest favorite album, band, or song with the closest person who would listen.
She also worked at Casis Elementary as a teaching aide and tutor for kids with special needs. Her job was undoubtedly difficult at times, but you wouldn't have known that. She talked about her kids with a giant smile on her face. In the summer, she volunteered at Girls Rock Camp, a non-profit organization that helps girls learn to play instruments and celebrate their own rad-ness. Esme was the best fan and cheerleader ever, a virtual encouragement machine when it came to those girls and, really, everything.
Esme was going to school to get her teaching certificate and in between working two jobs, she studied like crazy. That was actually when I got to see her the most, because she liked to study at the coffee shop across from Waterloo where I worked for a couple years. She had a drink – a large soy chai with a shot of espresso – and I usually gave it to her on the house in exchange for listening to me talk about all my crushes, and vice versa. Then she’d bury herself in her reading at the corner table, wearing her signature red headphones, until it was time for her to go out and see a band. She always invited me to come do whatever she was doing with her. She was the kind of person that always wanted everyone to come along and have a good time.
If Esme sounds too good to be true, then maybe I'm beginning to do her justice.

The BuzzFeed Headline Generator was the final and perfect step in an adventure that began when McSweeneys "suggested" some stories for us and we took them up on it.
Secretly, this headline generator is the source of every post I've written for BuzzFeed in the last three months.
It's hard work, but someone's got to do it.
One of my first BuzzFeed posts was If Mad Men Was Mad Dogs, posted during my trial weekend back in April!
It (+ my utterly charming personality) worked!
